LUPUS RELATED NEWS & UPDATES
Latest news from the Lupus Trust
In a new global survey of more than 3,500 people with lupus released by the World Lupus Federation (WLF) for World Lupus Day,, nearly 7 in 10 participants responded that lupus hampers their mobility. The majority of survey respondents also reported they are limited from doing daily activities because of lupus, including limitations going up and down stairs (67%) and doing chores (69%) such as vacuuming or yard work.
The 16th annual observance of World Lupus Day on May 10 will highlight how emotional support helps people with lupus cope with its health effects and on the need for lupus clinical trial volunteers.
World Lupus Day is sponsored by the World Lupus Federation, a global coalition of 200+ lupus patient groups, that seeks to raise awareness of lupus and advocate for more significant funding for lupus research, education and support services for the millions of people worldwide living with the life-threatening, chronic autoimmune disease.
