HAVE YOU A STORY TO SHARE?

Sharing the diagnosis, the fears, the positives, the humour, the family support, the new friendships made, can give strength to both yourself and those with whom you share.

If you are a sufferer, a family member or friend who has been affected by Lupus – share YOUR story here.

Email or post your story or poem to the Lupus Association of Tasmania for inclusion in this site. You may remain anonymous if you so desire.

Joining a support group can change a person’s perspective. The sufferer learns how others handle problems, some of which may be similar to their own. These groups provide for the exchange of ideas and feelings and suggestions on how to cope.
The Lupus Association of Tasmania is basically a self-help group for anyone suffering from SLE, Discoid lupus, and overlapping or associated syndromes such as Fibromyalgia, Polymyositis, Sjogrens syndrome, Scleroderma, Antiphospholipid syndrome, Raynaud’s Phenomenon and ITP (Thrombocytopenia). We can help you with more detailed information on a specific area of your lupus. By supporting our activities you can make a contribution to further research and education in regard to lupus, and help yourself.
