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.
As the parent of a newly diagnosed child, you might feel overwhelmed and worried. These are normal reactions. You might want, and need support, from others who have been, or still are, on this same journey.
Biologics are a therapies that derived from living cells or through biological processes. They are a promising new class of drugs used to treat myositis.
Tips and links for dealing with insurance claims, denials and appeals, making phone calls, changes in health care law, help with medical bills, and more.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
