I have recently been diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis by Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I live in Louisville, Ky and need a physician with training and experience in treating this disease. Should I seek a Rheumatologist or a Neurologist? How can I find a doctor with the experience I need in the Louisville community?
