Answers to common questions from patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals
about myositis and Myositis India’s support services.
Myositis is a group of rare autoimmune diseases that cause inflammation of the muscles.
This can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, pain and, in some cases, involvement of lungs,
skin or other organs. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care can make a big difference.
We provide information, connect patients with expert doctors, offer helpline and support
groups, organise awareness events, and share practical resources for day-to-day living with myositis.
Our goal is to make sure nobody feels alone after a diagnosis.
Yes. Depending on availability, we arrange one-on-one support sessions with trained volunteers,
patient leaders or experts. These sessions are not a substitute for medical care, but they help
you understand options, ask better questions to your doctor, and feel emotionally supported.
No. Myositis India is a not-for-profit patient support initiative. We do not provide direct
medical treatment, but we work closely with hospitals and specialists to guide patients
towards appropriate care.
We welcome collaborations for awareness events, educational sessions, research support,
and patient-centric initiatives. Please reach out through our contact form or email so we can
understand your interest and design the right partnership.
