Drs. Kaveh Ardalan, Andrea Knight, and Alison Manning discuss juvenile myositis’ impact on mental health and how parents can address them.
Dr. Sadun is a pediatric and adult rheumatologist at Duke University, a Cure JM Center of Excellence. She recently presented at the Global Conference on Myositis (GCOM) on transitioning care from pediatric rheumatology to adult care.
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.
Juvenile myositis patients and parents of children with JM often ask how important exercise is while on the path to recovery and remission.
