May is Lupus Awareness Month

May is the Month for Lupus Awareness!

May is the month dedicated for Lupus awareness.


May 10 is World Lupus Day
is a day that the global lupus community joins to bring attention to lupus.

People know little or nothing about lupus. I'd say about 50% of people know a bit of lupus. Most of the time people ask m if it is like cancer, if I'm going to die soon.

This is a time to raise awareness of lupus to everyone and everywhere. Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and organs). It is an unpredictable and potentially fatal disease. There are an estimated 1.5 million Americans and 5 million people worldwide coping with Lupus.

Lupus awareness month is a pivot to the lupus community annual effort to secure funds to educate people and support those affected by lupus.
