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.
We are pleased to invite all juvenile dermatomyositis healthcare professionals to join us virtually for the latest presentations, sharing clinical best practices to help providers diagnose, treat, and care for juvenile myositis patients.
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.
Here are some resources and recommendations for ways of addressing pain. These come from pediatric rheumatologists and other medical providers/researchers.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
