Dear Tori,
I personally do not know of any type of research center devoted JUST to Polymyositis. I am aware of the Myositis Organization---they can point you in the right direction. The MDA is also pretty knowledgeable in Polymyositis. For me, it was a relief to FINALLY have just one doctor KNOW what I was dealing with.
Peace Always,

THANK YOU FOR THE INFO I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH-- ITS ACTUALLY MY MOM WHO HAS THIS CONDITION.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO POLYMYOSITIS ON THE COMPUTER & I READ THAT SOMEONE STARTED TAKING ZITHROMAX (ANTIBIOTIC) ALONG WITH METHOTREXATE- BUT STARTED FEELING SO MUCH BETTER WITH THE ZITHROMAX- HE IS ON VERY LOW DOSE OF METHOTREXATE HAS ANYONE ELSE HEARD OF THIS??? :confused:
