What is myositis?
Myositis is a group of rare autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammation and damage to skeletal muscles, which are responsible for movement. The inflammation can lead to muscle weakness, pain, and difficulty performing everyday activities. The exact cause of myositis is unknown, but it is believed to be a result of a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors.
There is currently no cure for myositis, but treatment options include medications to reduce inflammation, physical therapy, and other supportive measures to manage symptoms.
