    Hi, I'm Bill, I have IBM.

    I was diagnosed with inclusion body myositis 4 years ago. I am shocked how little support is made available to people in this position. Most medical people I have been in contact with have never heard of IBM. Makes life difficult. 😷

    Hi Bill,

    Welcome to the forum.

    We do have some members with IBM but they might
    bit be visiting the forum at this exact time.

    A lot of the issues you face will be similar for
    all three types of MD so feel free to ask questions.

    Hi

    It might be useful if you share abit about yourself like age, first symptoms, progression of IBM and how it currently effects you.

    It might not be as bad as you think, but yes initially is shocking and help is basic as most GPs know nothing about these conditions

    Hello Bill, I’m Anne and I was diasgnosed with I.B.M. almost 8 years ago. At first progression was very slow, but now (sadly) it is far from slow. I agree with the lack of provision. In fact the hosital have discharged me back to the care of my doctor. What they mean is that they don’t want to be bothered as there is nothing they can do!
    Nice to meet a fellow sufferer.
