Drs. Kaveh Ardalan, Andrea Knight, and Alison Manning discuss juvenile myositis’ impact on mental health and how parents can address them.
There are resources available for mental health care though it can take awhile to research them, access them, and follow up on the care.
Juvenile myositis patients and parents of children with JM often ask how important exercise is while on the path to recovery and remission.
Second-line treatments refer to options beyond steroids and methotrexate. They are designed to manage JM while reducing reliance on those medications. We understand that adding new treatments to your child’s regimen can be intimidating. However, rest assured that your doctor has carefully considered the benefits and risks of each option to design the best treatment plan for your family.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
