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.
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.
Building friendships with others in the JM community can be difficult. Since JM is a rare disease, medical common ground might be a state away.
Juvenile myositis, including juvenile dermatomyositis and juvenile polymyositis, is a group of rare and life-threatening autoimmune diseases, in which the body’s immune system attacks its own cells and tissues.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
