Lupus – when your body attacks itself
DR FAITH BYISRAEL
As a health educator, I’ve had to learn about a wide range of diseases. After seeing a lupus awareness month post from a friend recently, I recognised that I didn’t know anything about lupus. Here is what I’ve learned about this disease since then.
Lupus Awareness Month
According to the Lupus Foundation of America, May has been designated as Lupus Awareness Month. This year the theme is Let’s Make Lupus Visible, with an aim of rallying “family, friends and community to raise funds and awareness of the invisible physical, emotional and financial impact of lupus.” On May 21, individuals were encouraged to wear purple to health make Lupus visible.
