We started Lil’ Diva’s CRMO (chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis) Awareness November 2022, 5 months after Lil’ Diva (Amijah) herself was diagnosed with CRMO. With the struggle Amijah’s family faced financially we knew there had to be others facing that same struggle. So as a group we decided to help take some burden off the parents
We started Lil’ Diva’s CRMO (chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis) Awareness November 2022, 5 months after Lil’ Diva (Amijah) herself was diagnosed with CRMO. With the struggle Amijah’s family faced financially we knew there had to be others facing that same struggle. So as a group we decided to help take some burden off the parents as they go through the struggles this disease can bring.
To just give a short definition of what CRMO is…
Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a potentially serious disease. It involves inflammation of one or multiple bones that can be long lasting, or chronic. Symptoms can come and go. Inflammation may start in one bone, but later develop in other bones. CRMO is sometimes called Chronic Non-bacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) by physicians and in publications. “Non-bacterial” means there is no bacterial infection. Some physicians prefer this term because the disease is not always recurrent or multifocal in nature.
CRMO is under-recognized, which means many doctors may not be familiar with this disease. Some children with CRMO have an increased risk of developing psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative colitis), arthritis and eye disease (uveitis).
Wanting to not only bring knowledge of this rare children's disease, but to inspire and support those affected by Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis.
