I have worked in the wellness industry for over 15 years as helping others live a healthy lifestyle is a passion of mine. I have always lived an active and healthy lifestyle and love to travel with my 15 year old daughter. Being diagnosed with dermatomyositis has definitely been a life-changing experience. This blog will not only include helpful information about taking care of yourself, but I will also be posting about my health journey since being diagnosed with dermatomyositis. The purpose of my blog is to educate on this rare autoimmune disease for which there is no known cause and no cure. Dermatomyositis is a rare disease that causes muscle deterioration and skin rash. Symptoms include a red or purple rash on sun exposed skin and eyelids, calcium deposits under the skin, muscle weakness and atrophy, and breathing, talking or swallowing difficulties. There is no cure, but treatment is done to reduce the symptoms. The risk of developing various types of cancer is increased by 30% for people with this condition particularly within the first two years of diagnosis. Follow my posts to stay updated and learn more about this autoimmune condition.
