One of the ways you can help your children cope with juvenile myositis is by giving them a sense of control over their doctor visits and treatments.
Giving children a checklist makes them a part of the process and helps them to remember to address any concerns they might have.
You can use these checklists “as is” or customize them for your child and medical situation.
Download checklists in a customizable format for your child!

Building friendships with others in the JM community can be difficult. Since JM is a rare disease, medical common ground might be a state away.
Recently, Cure JM’s Jim Minow was able to attend the Global Conference for Myositis. This conference was not only informational, but was a most impressive day for Cure JM. The conference brings together leading myositis researchers from around the world to share results and collaborate on future projects leading to better care and improved treatments for our JM kids.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
