The Lupus Research Institute

[VidenTheColdOne]

Some of you may know that recently my mom has been having some medical problems. She just had her lower leg amputated due to Peripheral Artery Disease caused by her Lupus. She also recently had a stroke. She is doing better now, but because of her Lupus she is at a higher risk of stroke, heart attack, and a variety of other maladies.

Unfortunately Lupus is not a disease that is as openly promoted, or spoken about such as a disease like breast cancer. It is a very serious illness, and should be given the same recognition. I found an organization that is doing research towards a cure, or at least a treatment for lupus. They offer several ways to make donations, and to make others aware of this serious conditions, such as wristbands. It would be fantastic if you could give this site a glance, and if you are interested, or if like myself, you have someone in your family who suffers from lupus, you could make a donation, or buy a wristband to promote lupus awareness.

If anybody here has lupus, or knows somebody who does, i would like to invite you to share you/their story. Its important we spread awareness about this disease so we can get closer to a cure.
