Doctor appointments are important, but how do you prepare for one? How do you keep track of your symptoms so you can talk with your doctor about your treatment plan? What do you do if you’re in a flare and can’t get to your doctor right away?
Here are a few tools to help prepare and self-advocate.
Lupus Self-Management
Our Mission & Purpose
Advocate
Support for patients to have access to high-quality healthcare throughout their lupus journey, supporting their journey with referrals, appointment support, and direct patient advocacy.
We also work with state legislature to provide funding to support improved lupus patient counts to result in higher funding and access to appropriate care.
Educate
One of our top priorities is to educate community members and healthcare professionals (including community health workers) of the signs & symptoms of lupus to help shorten the time to diagnosis.
Cure
We work to help fund research toward finding a cure for lupus (more on our partnership with Hope Biosciences).
