This informational presentation was created for families with children newly diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) or juvenile polymyositis (JPM), the most common forms of juvenile myositis (JM).
It provides an overview of the disease and what to expect through doctor, patient and family interviews.
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.
At Cure JM, we want all our information to be accessible to you and your family. We have compiled all of our video resources in one place for you to view at your leisure.
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.
