Resource History
It all started with an idea
Living with lupus can be overwhelming, isolating and confusing. As an autoimmune disease, it causes the immune system to attack the body’s own healthy tissues and can result in a wide array of symptoms including pain, fatigue, rashes and organ problems. How lupus affects each person varies greatly and it can be a condition that can not only be overwhelming to understand but also to cope with if an individual does not have proper resources.
It was this understanding that inspired the creation of this website.
