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.

At 12 years old, Emma’s world was turned upside down. An energetic cheerleader who loved spending time with her friends, she suddenly found herself constantly fatigued, her muscles weak and aching. What began as mild discomfort quickly escalated into something far more serious.
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.
