Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Saturday, April 25, 2015. This is This, and That is That. Before it all started he was doing good enough to come down off his intravenous steroid dose. I was stoked because I was feeling good about it. Any symptom or change I could explain. I want to explain. Sometimes I think I make myself explain just to avoid these symptoms that are so minimal. Best part is Gary came back the other day. And by that I mean ...

Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Oh, I'm Use To This. I will never get use to this. Que evil suspenseful music! My heart sank and I thought NOOOOO. No, please the arm was terrible. Knee after swelling came down. That is not someone who is having swallowing trouble? So much to think about. I feel like its so much to figure out. We are still on for surgery next week. His bottom has been bothering him still so ...We go bac...

Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Saturday, September 13, 2014. The Bad, The Good, The We Shall See. Last time I updated my sweet baby boys blog.can't remember. I think I was getting tired of nutritional advice or something. Still on the fence, but getting there maybe. So with Gary's dermatomyositis seeming to be under control we have proceeded. We have proceeded on to trying to get rid of the calcium deposits dermatomyositis left behind. Never w...

http://garyvsjdm.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Thursday, September 12, 2013. I expected that to take awhile to get in. But nope. They got us on the schedule immediately. We even had to stick around on Monday the whole day to hit a pre-op appointment. That meant Gary was to immediately alter his diet for the bowel prep. We had a light breakfast that morning. Gary was already talking about lunch. Thank you so much to my baby sister who came with us. It make...

Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. End of the Year. I can't believe the last time I updated this was in September.I suppose I will just sum up the rest of these past months to end the year. I always said I would not be one of those who blog drop. Just forget about it. This new medicine we added is called Immuran. We have to be careful to make sure he eats with it but he gets really nauseated. So far so good thou...Child...

Gary's Mission: Calcium Removed Part Two
http://garyvsjdm.blogspot.com/2015/04/calcium-removed-part-two.html
Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Sunday, April 5, 2015. Calcium Removed Part Two. The alarm went off on Thursday morning at 4am. I admit it was really tough hop back on that horse when we just finished being in-patient last week. I admit I am getting a little worn down. I admit things seem harder lately on me (let me rephrase that, "for me" not on me), from emotions to pinched nerves in my neck. I can only imagine how exhausted he must feel.

http://garyvsjdm.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-viral-times.html
Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Thursday, March 5, 2015. These are germ sharing times. We can't seem to get away from them. Bleach and fruits and vegetables was my recommendation. Oh and hand washing, all that jazz. Honestly, I think it all helps but unless you walk around in a bubble. What if a flare? What if it his port? Am I feeling sick? I think I am feeling sick? Does my stomach hurt? Scream STOP. Get it under control. Gary, Age 7. Cure JM...

Welcome to Gary's Mission to Remission! Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. Monday, June 24, 2013. Steroid Taper: Ready or Not. The doctor shrugged and said, "oh yeah, why? And "ok/". We are all really at this lets cross that bridge when we get to it in his treatment. I think we all know that we need to make a move. We need to see what his body does. It is like playing Texas Hold Em. What starts to stop me in this is his calcium deposits. Some have gone way. Some have shed out...That ...
