Juvenile myositis patients and parents of children with JM often ask how important exercise is while on the path to recovery and remission.
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.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
