We are excited about getting our National Member news out to the world, so more people can find out what it is happening in each country and each member organisation! We caught up with Gaia VonÖrn from the Reumatikerförbundet, who has told us so many interesting things. Read about the unmet needs in Sweden:

"People must be able to access specialist care for their lupus in order to get their disease under good control. We need a lot more awareness about lupus in Sweden. In our experience, GPs can have poor knowledge and awareness of lupus, and this can cause serious delays in referrals to rheumatology clinics for initial consults. Patients often have very late diagnoses and can develop complications from their lupus".

"We believe it is important for patients to have access to pain specialists. Many lupus patients suffer from chronic pain and it can take a very long time to access pain clinics. Pain specialists are crucial in educating patients on pain management and the options available to them and to follow up people to ensure their pain is well managed".

Tell us! Where do you live? Do you think these unmet needs are common in European countries?

Thanks to the hard work of investigators and a more active participation of patients in investigation we know more about lupus, its pathogenesis and management. However, we still have many questions without answer.

What is the one for which you most wish there was an answer?

What are the chances of finding a cure for lupus today compared to 20 years ago? Still the same, better, surprises ahead?

Can we hope in a solution for the extreme fatigue we feel after our very good doctors manage to put us in remission?

The “Living with lupus in 2020” survey has highlighted the need for change in access for #lupus patients. That is why we chose "Access" as the theme of our 2022 #LupusConvention.

What is your experience in regard to acces?
