TMA Supports ILD Day: Raise Awareness and Learn More About Interstitial Lung Disease
Mark your calendars for ILD Day on Wednesday, September 10! Hosted annually during Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month in September, ILD Day is a crucial opportunity to raise awareness about Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), a condition that significantly impacts many within the myositis community.
ILD is a condition where inflammation and scarring damage the tiny air sacs in the lungs, making it increasingly difficult to breathe and get enough oxygen into the bloodstream. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, fatigue, weakness, chest discomfort, “clubbing” of the fingertips, loss of appetite, and unexplained weight loss.
By participating in ILD Day, you can help bring attention to this devastating condition and support efforts to improve diagnosis, treatment, and overall awareness of ILD in the myositis community.

TMA proudly supports ILD Day and stands with those affected by Interstitial Lung Disease. Let’s raise awareness together!
