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.
In collaboration with leading experts, we have curated a list of products that can help protect your child from the UV rays that come from the sun and even harmful artificial light.
There are resources available for mental health care though it can take awhile to research them, access them, and follow up on the care.
We recommend that mental health assessment and treatment options be an integral part of comprehensive care for children, adolescents, and adults with juvenile myositis.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
