These are great videos. I'm a medical student and I wish professors would start at this level of instruction before moving on to more intense, detailed material. I had a lecture where the professor started by immediately listing off the different types of myositis-related antibodies and how to make proper diagnoses, without ever explaining what myositis was in the first place!

Thank you for clearly stating that yes Myositis patients (some) do have pain, as well as other things you’ve addressed that shows you listen to patients. I admit to coming into watching with skepticism but was pleasantly surprised and look forward to future videos.

I've just been diagnosed and this has been very helpful explaining it to family as it's been 4 years of trying to work out what's going on

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Excellent explanation. Clear and easy to understand. I have been very sick for 1 year, many tests, many doctors. I am now seeing doctors at Cleveland clinic, Neuromuscular/autoimmune doctors. Appointment next week. I can't wait. No one could understand why I have trouble swallowing and throat pain. Weakness. Legs feel like jello. Tired. Joint pain. Migraines. I do not have MS, No Lupus, No sarcoidosis. I think I have this!
Thanks.
