Thank you! Great moment indeed.

I am so delighted to have found this page, very supportive and informative. I was diagnosed with SLE lupus in 2015, my symptoms started out with severe fatigue, poor balance, numbness, heat intolerance, and anxiety. I was unable to go back to work, so I tried analgesics for about 6 years. Tried every shot available, and all made me sick. In November 2023, I started on lupus Herbal formula from www. multivitamincare .org , the treatment worked incredibly for my SLE condition. I used the Natural Lupus Herbal formula for a total time period of 3 months, it totally reversed lupus. I had a total decline of all symptoms including joint stiffness, ulcers, and others. Sometimes, I totally forget I ever had Lupus.

⁉️Do you have depression? If you do, know that it is frequent in #lupus patients.

🚨Our 2020 Living with Lupus survey unveiled that #depression ranks among the most common symptoms in lupus patients.

⚠️ Out of 683 patients (16.7%) who identified anxiety or depression as one of their most bothersome symptoms, only 315 (46.1%) reported using antidepressant or anxiolytic medication.

lupus.bmj.com/content/8/1/e000469

🔬 Recent studies support these findings, revealing that depressive symptoms affect anywhere from 11% to 71% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

🔴 This common neuropsychiatric manifestation can be due to:

1️⃣ The illness itself.
2️⃣ Some of its treatments.
3️⃣ Other clinical variables, like fatigue or pain.
4️⃣ Sociodemographic factors.

👉 A specific study highlighted that #SLE patients report worse health-related quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality compared to the general population and other chronic diseases.

‼️ Understanding these realities profoundly is essential for providing lupus patients with the necessary support and holistic care.

✅ It's crucial to encourage dialogue and action around mental health.

🌈 The #kicklupus campaign is committed to shedding light on these issues and driving positive change in the lives of those affected by lupus.
