Set aside funding for Myositis and other orphan disease research.

This is a petition to gain funding for myositis. There are three forms of myositis which affect more than 50,000 Americans. Every year both adults and children die because of the lack of research. Because this disease is an orphan disease and is not popular in the media and affects so few people it is not profitable for research facilities to conduct research or try and find a cure. Myositis patients also need more FDA approved medications for this disease and this can only be accomplished by funding research.
