October is Lupus Awareness Month

More people have Lupus than AIDS, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia and cystic fibrosis... combined.

About 1.5-2 million people in the US alone. That's about 10x as many as there are Breast Cancer patients.

Someone YOU know has Lupus, please research, pray, meditate whatever it is you do and remember there still is no cure and treatments that we do have can be just as harmful as the disease itself. There is a lot to read up on...if you find yourself bored, do so.

A little info never hurt anyone... please pass this on. Lupus deserves just as much attention from the media as any other disease we hear about daily
