Hi Annie. Thanks for the reply. I am sure I have DM. Had a biopsy done at Johns Hopkins. While my Muscles, for the most part, seem pretty good, my breathing is really bad. I can only tell you that my Pulmonary docs here say I have some asthama and COPD. Cetainly came on pretty fast. I have alwqays wondered about both. Didn't have either a few years ago. MY MG was diagnosed a little over a year ago. I have never heard of a sniff xray. I'll have to look into that. I'm going to see another doc at the Myositis Center at Hopkins in May. They have pulmonary, nero and rheumotology there. Thanks for the info. Write when you can. I'll be thinking about you.
Ellen
