This informational presentation was created for families with children newly diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) or juvenile polymyositis (JPM), the most common forms of juvenile myositis (JM).
It provides an overview of the disease and what to expect through doctor, patient and family interviews.
The Cure JM Foundation produces a monthly newsletter with the latest news and updates about juvenile myositis. Please click to read past issues of the Family News.
As the parent of a newly diagnosed child, you might feel overwhelmed and worried. These are normal reactions. You might want, and need support, from others who have been, or still are, on this same journey.
Juvenile Dermatomyositis: Advances in Basic Research, Translational Studies and Clinical care. Hosted by Duke University and Cure JM Foundation. March 12th, 2022.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
