James R. Kilpatrick (IBM) "Group Mentor" James R. Kilpatrick was diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis in August, 1991, age 59, in Dallas, Texas. Because there is so little knowledge about this muscle disorder even among physicians, he obtained all the Myositis information from the internet then later from supportive Neurologists in his Support Group. Mr. Kilpatrick began a Dallas area Myositis Support Group, meeting in Dallas three times a year. The group began with six in 1996 and is now one of the leading Myositis Support Groups in the nation. Several neurologists are involved in the Support Group. A monthly newsletter is mailed to the group as well as E-Mails, phone calls and visits.
