Lupus is a devastating and often misunderstood autoimmune disease. It can attack any part of the body, is difficult to diagnose, and disproportionately affects women, especially women of color. Diagnosis can take an average of six years, and more awareness and research is desperately needed.
More than 1.5 million Americans live with lupus, and diagnosis can take an average of six years. About 90% of those diagnosed are women, many of them facing daily struggles most people never see, making more awareness and research desperately needed.
