FAQ

What is myositis?

Myositis is a rare autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the muscles. It leads to progressive muscle weakness, fatigue, and can sometimes affect other organs like the skin or lungs. Early diagnosis and proper medical care are crucial for managing symptoms effectively.

Myositis India serves as a comprehensive support system. We connect patients with specialised doctors, provide access to support groups, share the latest research updates, and advocate for better healthcare policies. We strive to create a community where no one has to face myositis alone.

Is Myositis India a hospital or a clinic?

No, Myositis India is strictly a non-profit patient advocacy organisation. We do not provide direct medical treatment or operate as a medical facility. Instead, we act as a bridge connecting patients to verified medical professionals, specialists, and hospitals that understand myositis.
