Autoimmune Myopathy
Autoimmune Myopathy is a group of rare diseases where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own muscle fibers, leading to muscle weakness and inflammation. This condition can affect various muscle groups, making everyday activities challenging. Symptoms may include fatigue, muscle pain, and difficulty in movement.
Diagnosis often involves blood tests to check for specific antibodies, muscle biopsies, and imaging studies. Treatment typically includes corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive medications to reduce inflammation and improve muscle strength. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for better outcomes and improved quality of life for those affected.
