What Is Myositis?
10. Prognosis
For types other than those caused by injury or drugs, there is no cure for the disorder nor are there any preventative measures. Myositis is a progressive disease, but treatment can improve quality of life and increase independence.
Many people find that they can manage their symptoms and maintain a high quality of life. Partial or complete remission does sometimes occur. However, if left untreated, the disease can progress to the point of morbidity or death.
