The Cure JM Foundation produces a monthly newsletter with the latest news and updates about juvenile myositis. Please click below to read past issues of the Family News.
Whether newly diagnosed or well into your JM journey, you’ve probably heard that sun and ultraviolet light can be a factor in triggering disease activity. Our families and patients often wonder the best ways to protect themselves or their children during the most UV-intense months.
Besides the normal turmoil of adolescence, having a diagnosis of juvenile myositis can present you with more stress due to changes in body image, medical visits, medicines, etc.
Over the past few years, exercise in juvenile myositis patients has garnered the attention of experts. Exercise is regarded as an important therapy in JM and should be done whether a child is in active disease or remission.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
To have your fundraiser matched, add “DIY Match” in the memo of your online gift or check.
