From the Introduction
Dermatomyositis makes itself known at the skin and in the muscles — a rash that appears without explanation, a weakness that accumulates, the unsettling task of describing symptoms that don't fit the usual categories. The writers in this collection have been through that disorientation and come out the other side with something to say about it.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts track dermatomyositis from the first visible signs through diagnosis, treatment with immunosuppressants and physical therapy, and the gradual recalibration of strength and routine. Writers are candid about the uncertainty of prognosis, the emotional weight of a changed body, and the small reclamations that accumulate over time.

Who it's for

For patients at any stage of a dermatomyositis diagnosis, their partners and families, and caregivers seeking grounded, human accounts of an uncommon condition.
