Myositis can be a short term or long-term condition.

When a person diagnosed with myositis based on what age and how it started, it could last from three to four weeks before patients start feeling better. For some, it can appear every now and then, based on their activities. In several cases it takes many years to subside and disappear.

 Proper diagnosis and life style helps to reduce the symptoms and suffering. In case the patient does not receive proper treatment, it could last very long time.
