Lupus Awareness Month is an annual observance in May to call attention to Lupus and its impact on millions of individuals and families.
Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease. There is no connection with AIDS. Usually, the immune system produces proteins called antibodies that protect us from disease. People with Lupus cannot do this, and their immune systems cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues. Because of this, people with Lupus create autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue resulting in inflammation, pain, and damage to various body parts. Lupus strikes mostly women of childbearing age (15-44). However, men, children, and teenagers develop Lupus, too. Women of color are two to three times more likely to develop Lupus than Caucasians.
World Lupus Day®, observed annually on May 10, gives a single voice to all individuals affected by this devastating and debilitating chronic disease around the globe. Visit worldlupusday.org
