Condition
Myositis
Myositis is a group of rare conditions in which the immune system drives long-lasting inflammation in the muscles, causing weakness; the main types are dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and inclusion body myositis. Vitamin D and creatine are the supplements most often discussed for it, but little research on them in myositis has been reviewed here so far. Because of that, it is too early to say how much either one helps people living with the condition.
