@livinglife1 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!! You’ve found the right site! There are many discussions on dermatomyositis. To find them, go to the main page for Autoimmune diseases, and find the search box. You can enter ‘dermatomyositis’ in the search box and hit “return” or “search” And a whole list of discussions will pop up and you can read any and all of them. From here, I’m going to let members answer you questions.
