Myositis Awareness Month is for Medical Professionals, Too
Thank your care team with a short note, and consider what else you can do. Many myositis patients are first diagnosed and referred to a specialist by dermatologists, internists, family doctors, and nurse practitioners. Reach out to healthcare providers in your community with these tips, and share the following TMA resources.
- Physician’s Guide to Myositis, to help with diagnosis and treatment
- Myositis Tracker, a way for patients to keep daily records of their progress and symptoms
- Pantone project, a guide for dermatologists to identify some rashes on people of color.
