I can't believe the amount of people suffering these days from autoimmune disorders (lupus, RA, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, juventile RA, etc). I too was given a possible diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder, which thankfully turned out to be negative. It's frightening. My sister is now in the latter stages of polymyositis. I never tire in my search for a cure for her. Yes... a cure, not a band-aid for her symptoms. She lives in constant pain, is weaker than a kitten, and has given up. Even her doctors have given up on her, and just keeping throwing prednisone at her, which of course comes with a multitude of hideous side effects .

I have NOT given up on her... so... have come across something very interesting.... Seems there might be a light at the end of the tunnel... according to those people. I have been in touch with one of the members , and she has been wonderfully helpful and supportive since she has/had (yes HAD!!!!) polymyositis too. We are in the midst of investigating/implementing all that they have suggested there.
