Lupus is an autoimmune disease that afflicts almost 1.5 million Americans. That's more than cerebral palsy, MS, sickle cell, and cystic fibrosis combined. Yet, 2 out of 3 adults know little or nothing about the disease. That's where support groups come in.
Support groups provide an opportunity to educate ourselves, the public, and those close to us about living with lupus. We share information, stories, and coping strategies. We are a small group committed to helping each other manage our disease in a positive way. We invite you to join us at our meetings. If it's not possible for you to attend meetings feel free to start a discussion on the Forum page of our website. Just click on Forum Discussion to register.
