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.

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
