MyoCon Virtual Session – Before You Dial 911: The 411 on Myositis in the ER

The emergency department can be overwhelming—especially when you’re living with a rare disease like myositis. From missed infusions and infections to disease flares and unrelated emergencies, patients often face unique challenges that aren’t always well understood by ER staff. In this session, an Emergency Medicine PA living with dermatomyositis shares both clinical expertise and personal experience to help you take control before and during an emergency. You’ll learn how to recognize red flags, prepare for common ER scenarios, communicate effectively with triage teams, and advocate for timely, appropriate care—even when myositis isn’t the focus of your visit.
