March is Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month. Each year, TMA partners with the Autoimmune Association and their National Coalition of Autoimmune Patient Groups (NCAPG) to increase understanding and awareness of autoimmune diseases.
Autoimmune diseases are a group of more than 100 disorders—including myositis diseases—in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and damages its own tissues. Autoimmune diseases are on the rise, with estimates of 50 million Americans living with these conditions.
