Emily Davis, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Emily Davis, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two, had always been active. Over the past year, she experienced a creeping, profound fatigue that made climbing stairs feel like a marathon and holding a book to read to her class a struggle. Her muscles ached constantly, and she began tripping over her own feet. After months of dismissing it as stress and 'getting older,' her primary care physician, concerned by her elevated muscle enzyme levels and weakness, referred her to an Internal Medicine specialist for suspected polymyositis. The doctor recommended a muscle biopsy from her thigh to confirm the diagnosis. The procedure itself was quick, performed under local anesthesia, but the anxiety of not knowing was overwhelming. The biopsy confirmed polymyositis. Starting on a course of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants was difficult, with initial side effects, but within three months, Emily regained significant strength. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster, from fear and frustration at her failing body to profound relief at having a name for her enemy and a path forward. She's now back in the classroom part-time, managing her condition with medication and hope, grateful for every small victory.
