The Cure JM Foundation produces a quarterly newsletter with the latest news, educational opportunities, and research updates about Juvenile Myositis. Please click below to read past issues of the Quarterly Medical Newsletter.
A treatment plan is based on many factors, including the severity and expression of the juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Each case is different and the symptoms can change over time.
The questions about what to do before and post-IVIg to prevent side effects come up often. We know that IVIg can be a very beneficial treatment for JDM, yet it is not without potential side effects. Please read further to minimize the event’s trauma and prevent side effects, e.g., nausea, severe headaches, etc.
Anna Ramsey has lived with juvenile myositis for most of her adolescent and adult life. Over the years Anna has been actively involved in Cure JM as a fundraiser, an advocate, and most recently the first ever patient on the Board of Directors.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
