Alain CornetDear Lupus Europe members, The theme for this year’s World Lupus Day is “Tame your wolf – Tame your lupus”. We were delighted to be able to ask Leslie Quagraine, a fellow lupus sufferer, if he could produce the artwork for our campaign. Leslie was born in London but is a long-time resident in Finland. […]
#Fatigue is present in most #lupus patients and, according to our European patient survey conducted in 2020, is the most bothersome of #lupus symptoms.
One of the targeted interventions in fatigue is exercise

Thank you for highlighting our study 😃! Coping strategies are key for accepting diagnosis and adapting to the limitations patients may have due to #lupus
✅ May is #lupusawareness month
Let's discover the main strategies used by #Lupus #patients to cope with the disease (in their own words). A very interesting study by @LupusEurope & Mosca, just published in Lupus Sci Med at: https://lupus.bmj.com/content/lupusscimed/9/1/e000656.full.pdf

Let's (re)check the main targets 🎯 of autoantibodies in #Lupus:
Anti-Sm target proteins of the common core of U1-2-4-5 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNP) which combine to form the spliceosome and removes introns from transcribed pre-mRNA 👍

One of the main goals 🎯 of treatment in #SLE is to prevent #DAMAGE 🚧 Damage in #Lupus is irreversible 💔 but the functional consequences may improve 📈 over time 🕑 through physiological adaptation ✅ or treatment 💊

There are over 100 autoimmune & autoinflammatory diseases as well as conditions that may involve some form of arthritis. Out of all those conditions only a few, including some that are rare, involve early-onset inflammation-driven arthritis as a major clinical component
✅ May is #lupusawareness month
And it's a great opportunity to remind you ⬇️ of the incredible power of physical activity 🏃 in #lupus 🦋 Key messages:
- PROVEN to improve #fatigue 👌
- Start low/slow 📈
- Don't jump on inflammed joints!
- Use sunscreen 🌞
Our @CRMR_RESO reco ⬇️
IF you have #Lupus and #Fatigue, you may participate to our #LEAF study (➡️ Link: https://iamfatigued.limequery.org/584745?lang=en) and in 15 min get a personalized assessment + detailed recommendations about how to IMPROVE FATIGUE in your very own situation. Please give us some feedback 🔄 we need it!
Lack of awareness leads to
- Delayed diagnosis
- Compromised QoL
- ⬆️healthcare costs
Education about AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory diseases,including the fact they are full body diseases affecting many parts (joints,tissues,organs) is necessary to improve QoL #AiArthritisDay
Don’t forget @eularYoungPARE event on coping with a diagnosis, which starts in 1 hour. It might be useful for #lupus patients that have just been diagnosed and their families

Check the contemporary management of #Cutaneous #Lupus erythematosus (CLE) ⬇️
- Acute CLE: typically associated with systemic lupus (#SLE)
- Subacute CLE: drug-induced?, check anti-SSA
- #Discoid CLE: stop smoking, topics, MTX+Thali if severe.
Many of the treatments used in #lupus are not specifically approved for #SLE. However, they have been proven to be safe and effective. If you wish to learn more about drug repurposing, don't miss out #EULAR2022

There are over 100 autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases as well as conditions that may involve some form of arthritis. Out of all those conditions only a few, including some that are rare, involve early-onset inflammation-driven arthritis as a major clinical component. This type of inflammation-driven arthritis is otherwise known as “autoimmune arthritis" or "autoinflammatory arthritis", depending on the condition it is associated with, or more simply AiArthritis.
Lupus can involve early-onset inflammation-driven arthritis as a major clinical component.
However, as a systemic autoimmune disease lupus affects more than “just” the joints. Inflammation in SLE can affect the whole body.
Approximately 300 million people worldwide have a diagnosis of an AiArthritis disease.
World AUTOimmune AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day, also known as #AiArthritisDay, aims to raise awareness of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases that can cause joint inflammation.
May 20th is #AiArthritisDay. Join us and DRIVE awareness for these conditions that, like #lupus, affect the lives of so many people around the world.

Thank you LUPUS EUROPE!
SLE is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that can affect many organs, including the skin, lung, kidney, heart, brain and joints, with different grades of severity. There exists a range of coping strategies lupus patients may use to deal with the impact SLE has on their lives.
Alain Cornet, Davide Mazzoni, Angela Edwards, Dario Monzani, Gabriella Pravettoni, Jeanette Andersen and Prof. Marta Mosca analysed data from the "Living with Lupus in 2020" survey and were able to identify the most frequent words used by patients to describe their coping strategies, grouping them into significant themes. Five themes, corresponding to as many coping strategies, were identified and all strategies were quite important for patients.
The study's authors were also able to test the possible association between these themes and some patient characteristics. The results of this study have strong implications for clinical practice and for interventions aimed at improving patients' quality of life.

As much as we love hearing from you all and appreciate the time you take to share how you #kicklupus and inspire others, we cannot allow any content specifically about healing products for lupus.
We would greatly appreciate if you followed this rule when posting on the page.
Thank you
#WorldLupusDay finishes today, but #lupusawareness does not. There is so much more we can do to make life with #lupus better. Watch our vice chair, Anne Charlet, talk about her journey of becoming a Board Member.
You can also join us and become a volunteer
Wauvvvv SO good looking :-)
