Some drugs used to treat #lupus are approved for other indications such as chemotherapies, used to treat cancer, and immunosuppressants, used post organ transplantation. Some are known to be teratogenic (causing birth defects) and often compromise fertility in men and women.

#Lupus is an unpredictable condition in which symptoms come and go (flares) and complications can arise suddenly. We need #innovative research that can identify a reliable method to predict and prevent flares before they occur. #LupusAwarenessMonth

#Lupus affects women 9 times more often than men, with eighty percent of new cases developing between the ages of 15 and 44 during their child-bearing years or prime of life. #LupusAwarenessMonth #LupusAwareness

There is no known cause or cure for #Lupus or #LupusNephritis. Research is critical to discover the pathogenesis of lupus, better treatments and improve lives.

May is #LupusAwarenessMonth, and your voice matters. 💜 Lupus is different for everyone & the world needs to understand that. Share your lived experience using #LupusFeelsLike and #LupusChat to help others feel less alone and bring visibility to the realities of this disease.

Only five treatments are approved for #lupus (aspirin, corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, belimumab, and anifrolumab-fnia) and three drugs for lupus nephritis (belimumab, voclosporin and obinutuzumab). #lupusawarenessmonth #autoimmune

Developing disease-modifying therapies in #lupus has proven difficult given the #heterogeneity of the disease, unpredictable relapsing and remitting course of the symptoms, and the lack of validated biomarkers, inadequate clinical endpoints and outcome measures. #lupusawareness

Love the bracelets, Trisha! Keep up the great work, you are a stellar Lupus Awareness Ambassador! 💜🦋
