Myositis Support

MyositisSupport.org is a compassionate online community dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by myositis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the muscles. Operated by volunteer moderators who themselves have experienced the challenges of myositis, this platform fosters a welcoming environment where members can share personal stories and gain understanding from others facing similar struggles.

As part of the larger BensFriends.org network, MyositisSupport.org is freely accessible to anyone impacted by this condition, including those dealing with types such as dermatomyositis, polymyositis, juvenile myositis, and inclusion-body myositis. The community not only offers emotional support but also provides valuable resources about managing symptoms—like muscle weakness and pain—while promoting connections among its members. Founded in honor of Ben Muñoz, who sought to create a support system after his own health crisis, MyositisSupport.org aims to transform experiences of adversity into a supportive network where hope and resilience thrive.
