Toni Thompson's shares her amazing story of resilience on the path to her dermatomyositis disease diagnosis at Marshfield Clinic Health System. Up until the spring of 2021, Toni Thompson lived an active lifestyle. She enjoyed physical activity, playing catch with her son, and going on frequent adventures near her home in Eagle River, Wisconsin. But in subsequent weeks, her condition only worsened. Soon, her core muscles and legs were frequently tired, and she simply didn’t have the energy she used to. She felt exhausted after completing simple chores and had to rest frequently to make it through the day. What came next was a long road for Toni – trying to find a diagnosis for this rare disease.
