Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu is all set to take a year-long break from acting to focus on her health. While she is currently shooting for Kushi and Citadel's Indian version, she won't be signing any films or shows after that. Late last year, Prabhu had taken to social media to share that she had been diagnosed with Myositis – which leads to the weakening of muscles. At the time, the actor had said, "The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon." Last month she said, “It’s been one year since the diagnosis. A year of forced new normal. Many battles with my body… no salt, sugar or grains with a cocktail of meds for the main course, forced shutdowns and forced restarts. A year of seeking meaning, reflection and introspection," But what exactly is Myositis? Is there a treatment for it? Can it be cured? Myositis is a chronic condition causing inflammation in one's muscles. The causes include infection, injury, autoimmune conditions, and drug side effects. The condition can affect both children and adults. However, studies show that women are more likely to be affected by this disease than men.
What are the symptoms of Myositis?
- Muscle weakness.
- Joint or muscle pain
- Fatigue
- Swelling
- Trouble breathing or swallowing
- Arrhythmia
As of now, there's no cure for the condition. But treatment options are available that won't just reduce the patient's symptoms but can lead to remission as well. Most people live with Myositis for the rest of their lives.
