SUMMARY:TMA Northeast Texas Myositis Support Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nAttend TMA Northeast Texas Myositis Support Group: Support for Those Living with Myositis and their Care Partners \nLiving with myositis is easier with friends. TMA’s support and affinity groups offer a community where you can connect with others who truly understand your unique circumstances. Share experiences\, find helpful resources\, and gain insights on managing daily life with myositis while navigating the complexities of independence and self-care. These sessions are never recorded and camera is optional.  \nWhen?Fourth Saturday of each month (no meeting in December) at:10:00 AM – 11:30 AM CT \nJoin us for this monthly meeting to connect\, find strength\, and support each other in our myositis journeys. You are not alone – come share and learn with others like you! \n\nMessage from the Leader | Melissa Rumpf \n\n\n\n\n\n \nHello\, my name is Melissa Rumpf and I was diagnosed with IBM in 2017.  I feel very fortunate to have found TMA early in my diagnosis as they have been instrumental in helping me navigate this disease.   \n\n\n\nI have attended three (3) in-person TMA International Patient Conferences and many zoom conferences and meetings throughout the years (can’t wait for Dallas this year)!  Meeting other myositis patients and being able to share information\, our struggles and our positives with each other has been life changing for me.  I have learned so much from TMA and others weathering the ups and downs of myositis.  \n\n\n\nPrior to medically retiring in 2019\, I was a Communications Supervisor with the Las Vegas Police Department where I spent 28 years helping others.  So being part of TMA and helping others is a strong passion of mine.   \n\n\n\nMy husband is my “Rock” who helps keep me going.  We exercise 3 times weekly to keep my mobility.  My passion is traveling so we take vacations as often as we can – it keeps me going mentally and physically! \n\n\n\n“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me”.  We all must keep up the fight! \n\n\n\nI’m looking forward to meeting you at our TMA Northeast Texas meetings! \n\n\n\nSincerely\, Melissa \nRegister Here \n\n\n\n\n\nConnect with TMA!         \n\n\n\n\n\n
