Do you have cable TV...

Hi everyone,
Just a quick cut and paste while I am preparing dinner. I will write more later regarding my personal updates but wanted to pass this information on to you.
If you have cable TV, you might enjoy this special. We'll be DVR'ing.

Talk to you soon.

Polymyositis featured on Discovery Health
TMA (the Myositis Association) is pleased to inform you that the Discovery Channel will be airing a show focusing on polymyositis on October 15 at 10 p.m. E.T. TMA has been working for some time with the Discovery Channel to have this program aired, and we are looking forward to it having it on cable television. Please check your local listings to confirm that time; or visit http://dsc.discovery.com/. "Mystery Diagnosis" is the name of the series and the segment will feature a PM patient as well as Dr. Lisa Christopher-Stine, Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins University Myositis Center.Although TMA has not been able to view the episode in advance, the care and attention given by the producers at the Discovery Channel to this topic and the information they requested from TMA suggest that it will be an informative and interesting picture of what happens to a patient with polymyositis symptoms seeking a diagnosis. Although polymyositis is the disease featured in the October segment, TMA has also worked with the producers on possibly featuring juvenile myositis, dermatomyositis and inclusion-body myositis, and will continue to do so.For those unable to watch the live show, Discovery Health typically posts its broadcasts after they are aired, at the web site noted above.
