Complications of Myositis

Complications of Myositis

  • Muscle weakness: This is the most common symptom of dermatomyositis and can affect any muscle group, but usually affects the proximal muscles (hips, shoulders, neck).
  • Skin rash: A characteristic rash on the face, chest, back, hands, and/or elbows is a common symptom of dermatomyositis. The rash often appears before the muscle weakness.
  • Difficulty swallowing: This can occur if the muscles responsible for swallowing are affected.
  • Fatigue: Many people with dermatomyositis experience extreme fatigue and weakness, even with minimal activity.
  • Joint pain: Joint pain and stiffness may be present, especially in the morning.
  • Shortness of breath: This can occur if the muscles responsible for breathing are affected.
  • Raynaud's phenomenon: This is a condition in which the fingers or toes turn white or blue in response to cold or stress.
