The number of medications used to manage juvenile myositis and its side effects can be overwhelming. To help you stay organized, Cure JM has developed this sample medication chart.
The chart is in Microsoft Word format, so you can customize it to fit your specific needs.
Sammie Fish was 14 when juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM, a rare form of juvenile myositis (JM) changed her life in 2017. A doctor’s warning that she might never reach remission, tied to a lifetime of medication, shook her world. But Sammie, now 21, didn’t back down. Today, she’s a college grad, a new teacher in her dream job, and Co-Chair of Cure JM’s Ohio Chapter alongside her mom. She walks for herself, for kids like her, and for a cure. That’s why hundreds of Cure JM families and friends across the nation join Walk Strong, because every step pushes us toward a JM-free future
We know that living with juvenile dermatomyositis affects the physical as well as emotional health of our children. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish “normal” behavior and feelings from more difficult ones of depression and anxiety.
Cure JM was founded 19 years ago by a small group of volunteers who wanted to change the world for children with a rare disease few had ever heard of—juvenile myositis, or JM.
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.
