This presentation addresses the important information about providing your JM Child with adequate nutrition and exercise. Two knowledgeable physicians focus on the best foods for a child with juvenile myositis, how to handle steroid cravings, and how to eat healthily with all the side effects of the medications.
The presenters discuss applying the nutrition and exercise recommendations sometimes provided by healthcare providers and making them work for your family in the “real world.”
