SWHR Releases New Lupus Toolkit
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own tissues, creating widespread inflammation and symptoms throughout the body, which often results in organ tissue damage.
Based on the fact that the disease disproportionately affects women – 90% of Americans living with lupus are women ages 15-44 – SWHR created a toolkit to support women in their lupus journeys: Living Well With Lupus: A Toolkit for Women.
Do you have a lupus story to share? Share your health story with SWHR. Visit swhr.org/shareyourstory to learn more.
