🚨 Today is #WORDDAY2026! Which stands for WOrld Young Rheumatic Disease Day.

🌍 Through this global event, we can spread the word that children and young people get rheumatic diseases like lupus, too.

‼️ It is estimated that around 15-20% of #lupus patients are children, although it is rare that a child develops lupus before 5 years of age.

As with adult patients, the cause of lupus remains unknown, and there is a great choice of treatments to keep the disease under control.

🔴 On average, it takes nearly 6 years for people with lupus to be diagnosed. This delay in diagnosis, and therefore in treatment, can have an impact on the prognosis and quality of life of patients; this includes kids.

😰 The moment your child gets a diagnosis might be overwhelming for you. This feeling of overwhelm can and does go away with time and with access to the right information.

👉 Remember: it is impossible to learn everything about #lupus overnight! Your child's doctor is the best source of information.

Apart from pharmacological treatment, other non-pharmacological measures can also help in lupus management.

📷 Take a look at the images we are sharing today to learn about these non-pharmacological measures and share them with your community to help us raise awareness.

🐺 Lupus can seem scary at first. Remember that you are not alone and that you are going to do a great job!

Turn to your lupus association for support.

🤗 There are many organisations across Europe that can help you and your child cope with the disease.
