    Thank you for this video. I recently had a severe flare of PM. My CK went to 3300, difficulty of walking and I fell once while standing up unsupported. I had to take IVIG, and later take immunosupressant and methylprednisolone. Now my CK is around 300 and I don't have fever anymore. I have started to feel that some muscle function slowly coming back. I want to start physiotherapy next week. This video helps me in understanding the benefits of exercise and the progression that we can work for.

    Diet makes a huge difference and lifestyle ! Diet has been studied a lot especially in Functional Medicine that studies the body as a whole system . They get to the root cause of the disease ! And there is evidence of people over coming there autoimmune disease with natural treatments. Other doctors need to be more open to this!

    Deepest gratitude for this presentation. Updated information in regards to this rare autoimmune disease is empowering and helping build trust in conventional medicine. I am 3 months living with DM and I am experiencing muscle pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, brain fog, dysphagia, clinical rashes, and currently systemic itchiness. Currently only on prednisone treatment for one week now and it has helped relived swelling and some muscle pain. Looking forward to remission and god bless to all.

    Thank you for taking the time to make such a thorough video. I'm 56 and was diagnosed 16 years ago with "undifferentiated connective tissue disease". However, new symptoms (and a creatine kinase of over 1,300) has led to a new diagnosis of "inflammatory myositis". I'm tapering off a 1 month course of steroids, in addition to taking azathioprine. Thankfully my labs at my 2 week check showed my CK levels had dropped to a normal 64! I'm so thankful to learn that I can (and must) continue with my daily exercise at the gym. I was unfamiliar with the term "Zone 2 exercise" but it appears that that is what I am currently doing. I don't feel pain from it, just extreme exhaustion and arms & legs that feel floppy. Now that I know that it is okay to feel this way and I'm not damaging myself further, I will continue like exercise is one of my daily prescriptions!!!!

How should one proceed when starting exercise after being diagnosed? Before my diagnosis I went to the gym, I walked on the track, I did water exercise, I walked at least 1mile 3 times a week through my neighborhood. I'm eager to follow your advice. Thank you.

  • @mahmamaa
    @mahmamaa 9 місяців тому

    I feel so sorry for you and I hope you are better today, but doctors needs to be aware that dermatomyositis doesn't just attack the muscles, I have DM and my muscles isn't affected at I all, and i've had it for 12 years. My joints hurts and I have gottron's pupels, plus rednes on my right eye. I just got the diagnosis (FINALLY) after a biposi of the lumps on my fingers that are Gottron's papules, but i'm now waiting for treatment. I am though pretty sure I have mda5 since I have all the symptoms. But for 12 years, doctors and specialsists all over asked me if I had muscle weakness, and since I said "No", they then checked off Dermatomyositis on the "list".. I will gladly let them do all the reasearch they can get from me to help others.

A bad flair now and my dr hasn’t offered anything to do about it. My face burns and Itches. Hurts like nettles Poking and irritating.

    I get bad peri orbital edema by itself and with Erythema. I can get them either by themselves or together. There is not a lot of information out about the edema itself. So a lot of drs do not recognize it as a symptom of DM without the erythema. So I’d love to get more information out and hopefully get more drs and others to recognize it.

    Just tested positive for this test which seems to confirm IBM, although I also have the Sjogren's antibody. Lab was Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute in San Juan Capistrano, California. Previous diagnoses have included "Inflammatory muscle disease." "Sjogren's syndrome with myopathy." "Polymyositis." Disappointing response to several immunoglobulin infusions. Better response to IV rituximab.
