About LUPUS UK

This HealthUnlocked Community is a peer support forum facilitated by LUPUS UK - The national registered charity for people affected by lupus and assisting those approaching diagnosis.

This community is available for anybody affected by lupus to get information, support and advice from other people who are similarly affected. We welcome people with any form of lupus (SLE, discoid lupus, drug-induced lupus, cutaneous lupus etc.) as well as those with associated conditions such as mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD).

The community discusses a wide range of topics including; diagnosis, symptoms, medical appointments, medications and support available.

LUPUS UK provides a wide range of publications about lupus which are free to read and download on our website HERE: lupusuk.org.uk/publications/
