Patient Panel – “Senior with Lupus”

How does it feel when you have had lupus for more than 20 years ?

 

Lupus Europe is organising its 4th Patient Panel which will focus on the theme of « Senior with lupus ». If you are 60 Years + and have been diagnosed before 2000, send us an email and be selected to join another 10 persons from different countries in Europe that live in a similar situation. We very much would like to hear your opinion! What questions or concerns are biggest for you now? How is your lupus different now than it was at the start? What helps you kick lupus every day?

 

The Patient Panel is made for people with lupus by people with lupus. No outsiders, just among us. It will be held in Barcelona from Friday, February 3rd in the evening until Sunday, February 5th around lunch time. All costs (travel and stay) will be paid by LUPUS EUROPE. The language will be English, but don’t worry, most participants are not native speakers!

 

Please apply as soon as possible by email to secretariat@lupus-europe.org

    🟣 Living with systemic #lupus erythematosus can be a daily challenge for over 200,000 people across Europe, many of whom live with physical disabilities.

    In fact, our Living With Lupus 2020 survey reveals the profound impact #SLE can have:

    🔹 57.9% of respondents said SLE negatively affected their careers.
    🔹 Nearly 50% faced challenges in daily activities, from studying to family life.
    🔹 Fatigue remains the most reported symptom, affecting 85.3% of patients.

    🦋 These figures highlight the need for greater awareness, inclusivity, and tailored support for those living with disabilities or chronic conditions like lupus.

    🔊 On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let’s raise awareness to build a society where barriers are reduced and opportunities are accessible for all.
