My Name is Danny and I am 5 years old. I live outside of Austin, TX. I was diagnosed with Myositis on 3/17/09 we are not sure what type yet. I was an active little boy before all of this happened, I played Basketball, T-ball, and Soccer for the YMCA. I just started getting weaker and could not get myself off the floor or put on my clothes. I thought that my weakness was caused by being attacked by a boy that was older than me, but after going to several Doctors and being admitted into Dell Children's Hospital in Austin, they discovered this disease in me. I am being treated by Dr. Carrasco and he was quick to get me on IVIG therapy and Prednisone. This treatment has made me feel better, but I am still not quite myself yet. I have to take Prednisone every day and will soon be taking Methotrexate. I have noticed that my face is getting rounder from the medicine. I have been smiling a little more because I can move better. There were a few weeks when I was real stiff and did not want to get out of bed. I have two older brothers Aaron and Michael and a dog named Lucy. I have been reading a lot lately and playing board and video games. I love watching wrestling and my two favorite wrestler's are the Undertaker and Rey Mysterio.
