The Duke Family

I just "copied and pasted" this from an arthritis site. It sort of makes me happy. Please, please pray that I can be one of these people that only has a SINGLE attack. I might see that light at the end of the tunnel again......if this is my SINGLE attack, then it may not be so bad after all!

Outcomes
Many people with polymyositis and dermatomyositis respond well to treatment. Some people only have a single attack of the disease and are able to stop taking medications after about a year.

You never know! And, by the way, don't ask what the next part said. We don't want to talk about that...let's just focus on the positive!
