Meet Marisa from Portugal!

Marisa Costa has lupus and is currently planning to run a marathon in Aarhus, Denmark August 6 this year! She needs all the help she can get and has created a crowdfunding page (see link beneath). Please help by sharing her story and showing her your full support ?

“I am Marisa Costa from Portugal. I intend to participate in the European Masters Athletics that will be held, this year, in Aarhus.

To get funding I have a crowdfunding page: https://ppl.com.pt/en/causas/campeonato-dinamarca

And I also have an athlete facebook page where I publish my accomplishments: https://www.facebook.com/MarisaCostaAtleta/

I hope I can count with your help to spread the word 🙂

Having Lupus changed my life. I want to tell my story and I want to be an example to others.”

    🔴 Although lupus nephritis remains one of the most serious complications for SLE patients, early diagnosis and adequate treatment make remission possible in many cases ✅.

    🦋 Kidney disease is a silent illness. Getting to recognise its symptoms is key to getting an early diagnosis and preventing potential complications:

    1️⃣ Urine changes (in frequency or colour)
    2️⃣ Swelling in 🤲 🦶 🦵
    3️⃣ Foamy urine
    4️⃣ High blood pressure

    Prevention is key! There are many ways to take care of your kidneys:
    1️⃣ Have an active life 🚶‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️
    2️⃣ Don't smoke 🚭
    3️⃣ Have a healthy diet 🥗 🍏
    4️⃣ Check & control your blood sugar & blood pressure
    5️⃣ Take the appropriate fluid intake
    6️⃣ Don't take NSAIDs regularly

    🚨 Today is #WorldKidneyDay! And we are supporting the World Kidney Day campaign.

    People with kidney disease are among the most vulnerable people in an emergency because of their ongoing need for consistently coordinated care, which is often lifelong and involves complex ongoing treatment.

    🦋 It is estimated that about 40% of #SLE patients will suffer from #lupus nephritis: one of the most dangerous and frequent complications of #SLE. Routine check-ups and early detection of symptoms are key for getting an early diagnosis.
