🎉 What an amazing first day we had at the 𝐋𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 in Amsterdam!

The day was packed with insightful talks and lively discussions on #lupus research and management.

🦋 Some of the key highlights included:

✨ Lupus and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with Dr Jessica Manson.
✨ Lupus and cancer by Dr Sasha Bernatsky.
✨ Lupus and infections led by Dr Bregtje Lemkes.
✨ Lupus and vaccinations by Dr Reşit Yıldırım.

🗣️ Plus, enriching panel discussions on these crucial topics!

💸 We also explored the management of lupus in low-middle-income countries with Dr Sandra Navarra. We had a chance to engage with poster presentations and a lively debate on DOACs in #APS and SLE/APS featuring Prof Ricard Cervera and Dr Hannah Cohen.

🌙 The day concluded with a plenary session on lupus basic science, where Dr Leonid Padyukov discussed lupus genetics 🧬, Dr Claudia Mauri explored the regulation of B and T cell interactions, and Dr Thomas Dörner questioned the role of type I interferon in inflammatory rheumatic diseases like #SLE.

🎶 After such a full day, we ended on a high note with a wonderful evening entertainment featuring a brilliant performance by Prof David Isenberg and the Davidettes and an incredible piano interpretation of Beethoven by Prof Ronald von Vollenhoven.

🥰 Additionally, Professor Anisur Rahman recited a poem where he mentioned many of his colleagues in a flattering way, adding a touch of humour and camaraderie to the night 🙌 .

🤩 Don’t miss our Chair, Jeanette Andersen, and Dalila’s interventions today!

My partner was diagnosed with SLE lupus in 2023,we have to give a try on herbal supplements which effectively get rid of herbal Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) condition dramatically. After 13 weeks of her usage, my wife lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took her off the corticosteroids (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started her on the lupus natural herbal formula we ordered. It is advisable to always try natural herbs at first because MULTIVITAMIN HERBAL CURE ( www. multivitamincare. org ) neutralizes her SLE lupus which surprises everyone at home.

I’ve been through a similar journey and understand your concern. Natural alternative remedies by Dr osewen solution home is a game changers. I was struggling with Psoriasis,thyroid , Fibromyalgia and chronic pains for 3 years. Have you tried reaching out to any support group or organization for help.I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to him through his Facebook webpages : www.facebook.com/103770562521545 Your path to recovery may be closer than you think. Sending love 💕 xx

Last weekend, Lupus Europe Volunteers participated in an intensive abstract workshop in Leuven.

📊 The workshop combined theoretical sessions that included statistics with practical exercises! We worked to develop abstracts based on the "Living With Lupus in 2024" survey results.

🌟 Continuous education and skill development are essential to fulfil our mission 💪.

❤️ We are grateful for the commitment and enthusiasm of our volunteers, who are truly inspiring, working with us to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those living with lupus across Europe.

🗣️ Our sincere thanks also go to all the patients who participated in our "Living With Lupus in 2024" survey.

🙏 A huge thank you to the valuable input and excellent work of all workshop attendees! We have already drafted a number of abstracts that we could submit to be presented at medical conferences, helping raise awareness of patients' needs.

✅ Let's keep getting involved in research! The more patients respond, the more significant and impactful the data will be. ... See MoreSee Less

🛑 Lupus is a complex autoimmune chronic condition with symptoms and treatments that can potentially impact one’s sexual life and, consequently, quality of life.

💥 Symptoms like pain, fatigue, or joint stiffness can make physical intimacy challenging, while emotional factors such as anxiety, depression, and changes in body image can further complicate sexual well-being.

🚨In addition to lupus, overlapping conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome and antiphospholipid syndrome could also be a barrier to a fulfilling sexual life, as the former can cause vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse, and the latter can increase the risk of complications that may affect overall well-being and intimacy.

💊 Furthermore, certain medications used to manage lupus and related conditions could potentially have adverse effects on sexual health (corticosteroids, for instance, can lead to weight gain, mood swings, and decreased libido).

‼️Although sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent among patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRD), it remains under-recognised, under-discussed & under-treated in routine clinical care.

🔊 And that is why, on this #WorldSexualHealthDay, we want to raise awareness about the importance of addressing sexual health as a vital component of overall well-being ... See MoreSee Less
