Sometimes, certain situations can be overwhelming which is why talking to someone can help relieve worries and anxiety that you may have. If you would like someone to speak to, we can provide you with LUPUS UK contacts who you can chat with over the telephone.

Some people use complementary/alternative therapies for their lupus. Some people may find certain things helpful, whilst others may not find them helpful, or even find they make some things worse. It is important to always discuss any complementary therapies with your doctor before trying them so that they can advise you about any possible adverse effects or interactions with other treatments. You also need to bear in mind that lupus presents very differently in everyone, so you may not have the same experience as someone else.
