The Cure JM Foundation produces a monthly newsletter with the latest news and updates about juvenile myositis. Please click below to read past issues of the Family News.
Kids with JDM experience depression and anxiety at 2-3 times a higher rate than their peers. We hope that by outlining the common signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety, you are better able to support your children.
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.
Whether newly diagnosed or well into your JM journey, you’ve probably heard that sun and ultraviolet light can be a factor in triggering disease activity. Our families and patients often wonder the best ways to protect themselves or their children during the most UV-intense months.
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.
