Lupus & You: The Male Journey
Join us for a session created specifically for men living with lupus and the loved ones who support them. Many men with lupus are often met with surprise when sharing their diagnosis, stemming from the common misconception that lupus primarily affects women. However, research shows that 1 in 10 people with lupus are men. This event will feature expert insights from a medical professional, as well as personal stories — one from a male lupus warrior and another from a family member’s perspective. Everyone is welcome — bring your questions and be part of the conversation!
