Someone You Know Has Lupus

Lupus targets people of all age and ethnic groups. Individuals discuss the symptoms of lupus that have affected their friends and family members.

With nearly 300 chapters, branches and support groups in 32 states, the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) is the nation's leading non-profit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes and cure for lupus. Our mission is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of lupus, support individuals and families affected by the disease, increase awareness of lupus among health professionals and the public, and find the causes and cure. Research, education, and patient services are at the heart of LFA's programs.

Lupus awareness is so important! Sheila Shaw survived Lupus, which knocked out her kidney function. She teaches all about taking control of your life despite living with chronic illness. She's lived with it for over 20 years and lives her life to its fullest! I have talked with so many Lupus patients who all said that their Lupus flared out at the most stressful point in their lives. This was Sheila's case as well. Stress control seems to be important with Lupus.
