Before November 2025, I had never heard the word myositis. Like most people, I assumed that if something serious ever happened to my health, there would probably be warning signs, risk factors, or at least some kind of explanation.

There weren’t.

In this episode, I want to introduce you to myositis — what it is, how it affects the body, and how my own journey with it began. I’ll also share how quickly things progressed, how unexpected the diagnosis was, and why awareness of rare conditions like this really matters.
