☹️ Does joint pain affect your daily life? You are not alone.

💁‍♀️ According to Lupus Europe’s 2024 Swiss Knife Survey, joint pain and/or swelling were reported by 𝟳𝟮.𝟴% 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗟𝗘. It was also one of the symptoms 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁, reported by 44.6% of respondents.

🦋 #Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that can affect different parts of the body, including the joints.

💜 Today is World Aimmune Autoinflammatory Arthritis Day, also known as #AiArthritisDay.
It is a day to raise awareness of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, such as lupus, that can involve joint inflammation.

❌ But lupus is not “just joint pain”.

‼️ Lupus can affect the whole body. That’s why it is important that symptoms such as pain, fatigue, swelling, stiffness, and their impact on daily life are discussed clearly during medical appointments.

💬 To help with these conversations, take a look at the 𝗟𝘂𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀: a practical tool to help people living with lupus prepare for appointments and explain what matters most to them.

Inspired by NVLE and in collaboration with ERN RECONNET, these cards are available in 19 languages (more to come!).

🗨️ Lupus affects men, too! And its impact can be different from women’s, both physically and mentally.

‼️ From symptoms to how it is experienced and expressed, men living with lupus may face challenges that are not always recognised or addressed in consultation.

💁‍♂️ That's why we have created the Lupus Consultation Cards adapted for men: designed to help prepare for consultations, prioritise concerns, and make sure what matters most is addressed.
