I would discuss w/ your PCP as SARS-CoV-2 is potentially a key driver. Everything from myositis to pain brought on by inflammation (+ scarring / fibrosis) is vasculopathy. Covid is primarily a vascular disease. It damages blood vessels & can make you susceptible to other viruses ~> more damage.

I can see why the internet was full of conspiracy theories after his wife died "suddenly at home," of respiratory failure. I can't imagine how she could be ill enough to die of respiratory complications of autoimmune myositis & not have sought medical attention before getting to that point.

Everyone knows someone with a chronic illness. It might be Arthritis, Hypothyroidism, Diabetes, or Systemic Sclerosis-Myositis overlap (like me). This is the best list of products and services to gift them that I have ever seen.

Axial T2 (below left) shows bright signal intensity in the paraspinal tissues representing myositis which on T1 with contrast (below right) enhances heterogenously. The spinal cord compression from the extradural mass is also well seen on the axial images.

In all these cases, patients presented with eye symptoms. But the origin of the disease is in the nose. We drained the abscess in the first 3 patients through the nose, going behind the eyeball. If you’re not sure, seek a specialist opinion. #ENT #Surgery #ENTsecrets #surgeon #headandneck #rhinology

Try working when you’ve got this shit going on all the time.

This is #lupus.

I deal with lupus on top of #myositis, #ChronicMigraine and various mental health conditions.

Some people - who didn’t heard
the word lupus until yesterday - tell me lupus is nothing 😆

One of my late pugs developed an autoimmune disorder called muscle myositis where his body attacked his muscle tissue. He was put on medication and we got it under control and he lived to be 15. You may ask your vet to test your little guy for it.

I had the same thought... All I see when I go looking is some reports of mushroom *supplements* triggering inflammatory myositis and some discussion of major fungal infections causing autoimmune conditions... but viral and bacterial infections do that as well... just sort of "infections as a class."
