» lou44 - New lupus site

Hello all,
I am 31 years old, a lupus patient myself, and have recently started a new lupus web site. I've created this web site with the hope that it will encourage more young people to get involved, speak up, and not be afraid to discuss their issues with lupus. Despite the fact that mostly young people get the disease, it seems to me that young people's stories are not well represented in the available literature. So I wanted to begin to establish a community for younger people with the disease (along with their families) so that they would feel less intimidated to speak up.

I am hoping to eventually compile the stories I collect into a book which will be published and distributed to a larger audience. Please feel free to visit the site and share your thoughts and your stories! The site is www.lupusvoice.com.
