📢 #Lupus is one of the 7⃣ diseases being researched in #3TR and specifically one of 3⃣ #autoimmune diseases within the project. Today, on 🌎 #WorldLupusDay, we want to draw attention to researchers and doctors working with lupus, as well as patients affected by the disease❗️ 👇 https://twitter.com/LupusEurope/status/1523913785194516481
Today is #WorldLupusDay!
Watch as Prof. Mosca & Jeanette Andersen, our Chair, discuss #lupus, the patient perspective, how patients can contribute to #research & much more! #MakeLupusVisible https://youtu.be/XpBEt0mA32k

🆕 We asked doctors and #SLE patients 🏥 separately what they think are the most important disruption points 💥 in #lupus patient pathways...well it's really interesting ⬇️ and we CAN DO MUCH BETTER 👍

✅ May is #lupusawareness month
Let's (re)view the various types of #lupus: systemic (#SLE), cutaneous (CLE), neonatal (anti-SSA antibodies going through the placenta), and drug-induced lupus. ⚠️ Some disease names "contain" the word lupus but are not: lupus pernio & vulgaris.
Potencially interesting for #lupus patients as the objectives of the session at #EULAR2022 will be
-The use of glucocorticoids in #SLE & strategies to minimize their use
-When it is possible to withdraw steroids
- Evaluate therapeutic options in difficult to treat SLE

SLE is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that can affect many organs, including the skin, lung, kidney, heart, brain & joints, with different grades of severity. There exist a range of coping strategies lupus patients may uses to deal with the impact #SLE has on their lives.

Let's (re)view the DORIS definition of #remission ⬇️ for #Lupus (from this: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/lupus-2021-000538)
- No clinical disease activity
- Physician assessment of disease activity <0.5 (0-3 scale)
- Max 5mg/day predniso(lo)ne
- Stable immunosuppressive
🆒 Are you curious to know how to use #twitter to educate, perform #research, engage patients & build meaningful collaborations? Don't miss my @EMEUNET invited talk about #socialmedia & #rheumatology at #EULAR22, the 1st of June 2022 at 14:15 (Auditorium 10) 👍
✅ May is #lupusawareness month
Let (re)view ⬇️ the many #skin manifestations of cutaneous #Lupus. The former classification into acute / subacute / chronic CLE remains but many new specific involvements have been described over the past years.
Oh woaw, thank you @LupusEurope for quoting our paper 😍 about long term outcomes in #Lupus ⬇️ https://twitter.com/LupusEurope/status/1525094899573575682
Therefore, "good control of disease activity, minimization of glucocorticoids exposure and lifestyle optimization are of great importance" for #lupus patients https://academic.oup.com/rheumatology/article/59/Supplement_5/v29/6024730
According to this study by @Lupusreference et al., "patients with #SLE have 2- to 10-fold increased risk of clinical CVD compared with the general population".

Our chair, Jeanette Andersen, will be the leader of the #StenePrize2022 jury. The competition gives #RMD patients the opportunity to share their experience of living with an RMD.
Be an inspiration to other #lupus patients and physicians. Participate in 2023 Edgar Stene Prize
📣 We look forward to hosting you at the #EULAR2022 opening plenary in which we will award the #StenePrize2022.

20% of patients with lupus are below their 20's.
Although it is rare for a child to develop #lupus before 5 years of age, children can also have lupus. Therefore this session chaired by prof. @TadejAvcin & prof. Maya H Buch might be of interest for patients/caregivers #EULAR2022

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 :-)
On this #WorldLupusDay, we invite you to read this article written by our chair, Jeanette Andersen, Dr. Susan Manzi, Prof. Marta Mosca and Oatrick Wildman from Lupus Foundation of America.
As we mark #lupusawarenessmonth, and world lupus day, we want the global lupus community to join us in advocating for a better future for people living with lupus.
We need to define the standard of care that people living with #lupus deserve, which tackles the challenges across the patient pathway. Because, despite differences in care worldwide, the core challenges facing people living with lupus remain the same.

Lupus Awareness Month 2022: Advocates for the 5 million people worldwide living with this often-debilitating autoimmune disease set the bar for quality care and better futures for patients.This all sounds great. One of the hardest things I have to deal with is specialist doctors thinking box standard treatment fits everyone. No one recognises there are levels of SLE and wanting to put one on daily meds & steroids just in case frankly is not acceptable. The side effects cause worse issues often than the disease & without testing and clear diagnosis every symptom is put down to Lupus and not side effects of drugs developed not for lupus from decades ago. This to me & others is an ongoing battle 💜 Thus protect your organ mantra needs to stop the drug I was put on has done far more harm than my lupus ever will 😞
