WORLD LUPUS DAY

 

Spend the day at the university and now I am free and can finally really enjoy and celebrate World Lupus Day.

Lupus doesn’t discriminate.

90% of patients are women.

It can affect your whole body.

Take your meds and life can be practically normal.(mild cases)

Most Lupus patients can’t be in UV light (aka the sunlight) for long or at all.

Lupus patients normally wear a hat and long sleeved clothes when outside!

We always carry sunscreen and emergency meds and papers.

Do you need stylish awareness accessories?

My tip: Go check out ChroniclysILLy and her Designs!

In her blog she always strives to make us giggle! She really has amazing finds Winking smile.

Want to feel right at home and read articles all around Lupus and more? Go check out The Lupus Magazine. Geoff did us all a great favor in creating this free online newspaper! THANK YOU!

And one of my favorite sites is butyoudontlooksick.com Christine found an amazing way to explain living with a chronic illness her Spoon Theory. Derived from that the twitter hashtag #spoonie was born and most of the people in the sites community call themselves Spoonie.

Are you a spoonie or a lupie? Or both? I don’t judge. Do you want to talk to a Lupus Patient?

Join me starting NOW! in my videochat room.
