Happy World Lupus Day 2025!! When I got diagnosed in July 2017, I was alone and had no idea what was going to happen. But I'm thankful for the journey and all the people that I have met. We are strong!! We are warriors!! World Lupus Day, aims to raise awareness about lupus and educate the public about the symptoms, impact, and challenges faced by those living with lupus, as well as the importance of early diagnosis, treatment, and support. It also provides an opportunity to advocate for better research, funding, and healthcare services for lupus patients worldwide. Additionally, it serves as a platform for individuals, organizations, and communities to come together to show solidarity and support for those affected by lupus. There are several ways that you can join people from all over the globe raising lupus awareness on World Lupus Day, including: 💜 Join the global lupus community to share your lupus story on social media, and post images of our lupus facts. 💜 Use the hashtags #WorldLupusDay and #MakeLupusVisible 💜 Wear your favorite purple items, and share photos on social media 💜 Make a statement by lighting up a building or significant landmark in your town to be illuminated in the color purple 💜 Donating to organizations such as @lupusorg @lupusresearchalliance @lupusla If you are wearing purple please tag me!! #lupusawareness #lupuswarriors #lupusnephritis #lupusawarenessmonth #lhandsignchallenge #pop25 #GoPurpleToEndLupus #WorldLupusDay25 #lupus #lupussucks #lupusflare #spoonie #autoimmunediseaseawareness #autoimmunedisease #chronicillness #invisibledisability #invisibleillness #lupuswarrior #worldlupusday #lupus
💜 Today is World Lupus Day, a time to raise awareness about a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people around the world, including myself. I’m wearing purple today to show my support for all lupus warriors—those who fight every day through the pain, fatigue, and challenges that come with this invisible illness. Lupus is often misunderstood and underrepresented, so it’s important that we use our voices to educate others and advocate for better research, treatment, and support. By wearing purple, I stand in solidarity with the lupus community and honor the strength, resilience, and courage of everyone affected by this disease. keep fighting ! 💜 🦋 . . 🦋 Custom bandana by @bunchofbandanas . . . . 🦋🦋 A big thank you to everyone who has tagged me in their posts today, it means the world to me. 🦋🦋 . . ✨ Follow @akela.blueyed_husky for more HUSKY content 🤩💜 ✨
Some of us lived with lupus symptoms for years before getting answers. We were told it was stress. Hormones. All in our heads. But these “normal” signs weren’t normal at all—they were signals from our body that something deeper was going on. Fatigue that didn’t go away. Joint pain that came and went. Rashes. Hair loss. Flares. Things we were taught to push through. I created this carousel because I want you to know: You’re not crazy. You’re not dramatic. You’re not alone. If your body is speaking—trust it. Ask questions. Keep asking. This Lupus Awareness Month, I’m sharing stories that look like ours. So we can catch lupus sooner. So we can heal with community. So we can plan from truth, not survival mode. Tag someone who needs to see this. . . . Follow @lupusspeaks for more advocacy, real talk, and planning support for chronic illness warriors. #LupusAwarenessMonth #ChronicallyPlanned #LupusWarrior #SpoonieSupport #lupuscommunity #chronicillness #chronicallyplanned

🟣 10 de mayo – Día Mundial del Lupus Aunque no se ve, el lupus duele. Hoy recordamos la importancia del diagnóstico temprano y el acompañamiento médico integral. Cuidar el sistema nervioso también es parte del tratamiento. Desde neuropatias, mielopatias, miopatias, meningitis, vasculitis y epilepsia son algunas de las manifestaciones neurológicas que pudieran presentar los pacientes con LES. 👩🏻 𝑫𝒓𝒂.

May is a meaningful month for me. It’s both AAPI Heritage Month and Lupus Awareness Month—two parts of my identity that have shaped who I am as a founder and as a person. I was diagnosed with lupus when I was 17, after months of unexplained symptoms—joint pain, migraines, extreme fatigue, even losing my ability to walk for a time. That season of my life was terrifying. I was a high-achieving student pushing myself to the brink—ignoring what my body was screaming at me because I didn’t want to fall behind. Now as a founder, I still feel the guilt, the pressure to grind and "do it all." But lupus taught me something early: there is no success without health. The startup world glorifies hustle, but it rarely talks about sustainability—about pacing yourself so you can actually last the long haul. So this month, I’m reminding myself and others: take care of your body. Rest is productive. And if you or someone you know is living with lupus, you are not alone. 💜 Very grateful for the Lupus Foundation of America for supporting me in my diagnosis early on, and helping me with resources to feel less alone.

Malar rash is a #lupus-specific skin lesion classified as a localized, acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus . Its histopathology is considered to correspond to an interface dermatitis, but this may not always be the case, as demonstrated by this interesting case, in which a skin biopsy in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and malar rash demonstrated the presence of #leukocytoclastic #vasculitis (LCV). Cutaneous vasculitis is lupus-non-specific skin lesion pathologically demonstrating LCV and occurs as a complication in 10–20% of SLE cases. Cutaneous vasculitis commonly occurs on the trunk and extremities but only rarely on the face, where cause ulcerations but it may also mimic malar rash. *Taguchi, H., Nagai, Y., Kato, M. et al.
