Struggling to climb stairs, comb hair, or swallow food? You might have myositis – a rare autoimmune disease attacking muscles, affecting thousands of undiagnosed Indians! On The DocSphere, Dr. Akanksha (DM Rheumatology) decodes this silent crippler: its deadly symptoms, hidden triggers, and life-saving treatments to regain strength.

What is Myositis?
Autoimmune inflammation destroying muscle fibers → progressive weakness, disability, or lung/heart damage if untreated.
---
🚨 *Myositis Symptoms You CAN’T Ignore:*
| *Muscular* | *Systemic* |
|------------------------|----------------------------|
| ✔️ Proximal weakness (hips/shoulders) | ✔️ Fatigue, weight loss |
| ✔️ Trouble climbing stairs/rising from chairs | ✔️ Rash (dermatomyositis) |
| ✔️ Swallowing/breathing difficulty | ✔️ Joint pain, fever |

*Dr. Akanksha’s Red Flag:*
"If you drop objects frequently or trip without reason – demand a CPK blood test!"

🧬 *Myositis Causes & Types:*
| *Type* | *Key Features* | *Common Triggers* |
|------------------------|------------------------------------------|----------------------------|
| *Polymyositis* | Muscle weakness without rash | Viral infections, genetics |
| *Dermatomyositis* | Purple rash (face/knuckles), sun sensitivity | Cancer (15% cases!) |
| *Inclusion Body Myositis* | Weak grip, leg buckling (over 50s) | Age-related degeneration |
| *Juvenile Myositis* | Children with skin ulcers, calcinosis | Unknown

🛠️ *Myositis Treatment Plan:*
✅ *Medications:*
First-line: High-dose steroids (prednisone) + immunosuppressants (methotrexate).
Advanced: IVIG, rituximab for resistant cases.
✅ *Lifestyle Interventions:*
*Physical Therapy:* Preserve mobility; avoid overexertion.
*Sun Protection:* Crucial for dermatomyositis (SPF 50+).
*Diet:* Protein-rich (eggs, paneer) + vitamin D supplements.
✅ *Cancer Screening:*
*Mandatory for dermatomyositis patients!* (PET-CT recommended).
---
*India-Specific Challenges:*
*Diagnostic Delays:* Average diagnosis time: 2.5 years!
*Affordable Testing:*
*CPK Blood Test* (₹500) + *EMG* (₹1,500) confirm muscle damage.
*Myth Busting:*
❌ "Oil massages cure muscle weakness!" → Can worsen inflammation.
❌ "Myositis = old-age disease!" → 30% of cases are under 40.

*Dr. Akanksha’s Plea:*
"Early treatment prevents wheelchair dependence! If steroids don’t help in 3 months, ask about biopsy/immunotherapy."

🌟 *Critical Prevention Tips:*
1. *Avoid Statins If Possible:* Common drug trigger for myositis.
2. *Infection Vigilance:* Treat respiratory/UTIs promptly.
3. *Self-Monitoring:* Track daily tasks (e.g., combing hair) for decline.
