About Myositis.org
The Myositis Association of America (MAA) was created by Betty Curry in March, 1993, as the Inclusion Body Myositis Association (IBMA), a non-profit corporation. The National Organization of Rare Disorders (NORD) provided the names of 16 patients who became the initial members. Extensive outreach through the medical community and later through the Internet touched off enormous growth.
