A Cruel Mystery

The Lupus Foundation of America started a new educational campaign for Lupus awareness called The Cruel Mystery.  I am new to this disease and I admit I had heard of Lupus but I never cared enough to look into what Lupus actually is.  Below is a link to the new campaign website and to lupus.org.  There are a lot of super smart people out there trying to find a cure.  Please take a few minutes to read about the research being done and ways you can help.

Lupus is a cruel mystery.


It’s one of the cruelest, most mysterious diseases on earth. Lupus strikes without warning, has unpredictable, sometimes fatal effects, lasts a lifetime, and has no known cause and no known cure.

There’s more to lupus than meets the eye; It is difficult to diagnose, hard to live with, and a challenge to treat. Lupus is hidden from view because people often times may not look sick. It is more pervasive than people think, and strikes on a scale that the public does not realize.

The Lupus Foundation of America is embarking on a cross-country quest to solve the cruel mystery of lupus and end its devastating impact. We are going to communities across the nation to educate individuals with lupus, their families and their health care professionals, raise public awareness of lupus, and to urge Congress to increase support for lupus medical research. Join us in the fight to end lupus. Learn more about the “Help Us Solve the Cruel Mystery™ National Tour”.

I would love to attend the tour in Richmond, VA on 16 March 2013.  Maybe I will be home in Maryland  by then (more to come on the move from Texas to Maryland).

Today's Blessing:  Lupus.org and all of those responsible for the website.  I have learned so much from this site.  I am glad to have a trustworthy place to get my Lupus information.
