𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗟𝘂𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 - 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗟𝘂𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲

Every year on May 10, World Lupus Day shines a light on lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease affecting over 50 lakh people globally. Lupus is often invisible, with symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and skin rashes mistaken for other illnesses. Early diagnosis and awareness are key to managing this complex condition and improving quality of life.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
- Lupus affects mostly women aged 15-44.
- Many don’t recognize lupus symptoms or its seriousness.
- 89% of lupus patients report life impacts like unemployment, mental health struggles, and social isolation.
- Public awareness remains low, delaying diagnosis and treatment.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗹𝘂𝗽𝘂𝘀:
- Follow prescribed medication strictly
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid alcohol and smoking
- Use sun protection
- Get enough rest
- Manage stress

Let's stand together to #MakeLupusVisible and support those affected with knowledge, empathy, and research funding.
