Good: It's good to hear that you take care of yourself and pay close attention to hygiene. Perhaps it is time to ask your rheumatologist about your dermatomyositis and how to measure the activity of the disease. If the disease is well-controlled, it may be possible to reduce or even stop the immunosuppressive medication.
