Informative Videos: We've come a long way, but there's still a long way to go.

Many patients diagnosed with Lupus go a very long time without being properly diagnosed. They go from one doctor or specialist to another. The best analogy is that they have all the specialists, or deck hands, and no one physician in charge, or a captain driving the boat. Luckily, some medical schools are training medical students to specifically recognize lupus and its symptoms so fewer patients go years without being diagnosed.




The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc., is working hard to make living with lupus easier and is working towards finding a cure.
The following is a message from Sandra C. Raymond, President and CEO of LFA:

First Annual Howl at the Moon Bar Crawl was a Success!

Friday, October 21, 2011, the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc., sponsored a bar crawl at Five Points in Birmingham: The First Annual Howl at the Moon Bar Crawl. The event was a great success.
It was great to be able to provide information to passers-by on the street about what lupus is and the affects it has on patients diagnosed. Many people came up to our booth to tell us that they or family members are living with lupus. It was amazing to see that so many people in our area are living with this disease.
After the event ended at 10:00pm, door prizes were awarded. Everyone was really excited about the prizes they received, all of which were donated.

Hopefully, Howl at the Moon Bar Crawl will become an annual event.
