This video features stretching exercises that are an important part of rehabilitation for JM patients. The video was created for Muscular Dystrophy patients but still applies to JM patients.
Please check with your doctor before starting any stretching or exercise program.
The number of medications used to manage juvenile myositis and its side effects can be overwhelming. Cure JM developed this sample medication chart to help you stay organized.
With the looming FDA approval of the drug vamorolone in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, there are questions surrounding the drug’s status for trials in juvenile myositis. We have consulted with JM experts on the potential implications of a pending approval for the drug in another disease and what this currently means for JM patients living in the U.S.
In October, Cure JM had two speakers give an update about drug discovery in juvenile myositis.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
