A member asked:
Is having dermatomyositis considered a disability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Dm is a treatable disease, and we attempt to restore the patient's quality of life back to pre-diagnosis. Only if the conventional treatments fail do I consider having the patient apply for disability.
