A support group for people with lupus can be an excellent way for you to meet others who experience the same symptoms as you do.
These people can help introduce you to new management strategies and listen to you on days when people close to you don't really understand what you are going through.
Apart from the support group, there are some other ways to connect with people who have lupus.
LupusConnect
LupusConnect is a community of people with lupus and their loved ones. The online community is the perfect place to find emotional support, discuss insights for coping with the condition, and share personal experiences.
The online platform allows members to ask questions. You can also reply to posts published by other people and read the responses from fellow members. LupusConnect is free, and anyone can join.
Local Events
You can also meet other people with lupus in local awareness events. These events may also introduce you to new physicians and treatment methods.
Social Media
Social media platforms, like Instagram and Facebook, also have many pages and groups dedicated to lupus. You can find people with lupus in these groups and engage with them in a safe online space.
