Today, September 21st, is National Myositis Awareness Day.

I’m writing this post as a simple thank you to everyone who has listened to me or taken the time to understand my disorder. Learning about it and simply being aware of it can help. I learned about it myself during a hospital stay two years ago and since then have learned a lot.

I’ve learned a lot because of the amazing people in support groups, the talented doctors (who themselves are still working to understand the disorder) and the fantastic friends and family that drop a message or come by.

Thanks everyone for your efforts to become more aware.
