The Fight for the Lupus Cure

The Fight for the Lupus Cure The Fight for the Lupus Cure is dedicated for the awareness and knowledge of Lupus. Anyone is welco Hello,
My name is Amanda Barton, I am 24 year's old.

I have Systemic Erythematosus Lupus or SLE. I was diagnosed 4 years ago, in 2011. It is a very unpredictable illness and hard to diagnose since symptoms can come and go. Systemic Erythematosus Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs. The cause is unknown. There are also 4 different types of Lupus. Discoid, Drug Induced, Neonatal, and Systemic. The symptoms of this illness can be debilitating, very hard to control and extremely painful. Those include but are not limited to, a butterfly rash (one of Lupus trademark symptoms), fatigue, photosensitivity, uncontrollable shaking, arthritis, kidney disorders and much more. There is so far no cure for SLE. Although, currently there are medications to control the symptoms. Sometimes those medications can make the symptoms a lot better or a lot worse. I take only two medications right now and if it wasn't for health insurance I would be paying an arm and leg for them. The purpose of my Lupus Fundraiser is to raise enough money to send to Lupus Foundation of America so they can research the possibility of a cure. Throughout the past week, I have been asking for small $5 donations. All donations go to the Lupus Foundation of America to raise awareness and research to find the cure. Please help the millions of people suffering from this illness, be a hero and donate today. Thank you very much,

Amanda Barton

My name is Amanda Barton, I am 25 years old. I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2011, since then I have been pretty lucky. I only have true pain within my joints and it really hasn't escalated to my organs much. I fell earlier this year and got a concussion that went away well but has left an effect o...

A message from Lupus Foundation Of America!

"We are closing Lupus Awareness Month out with a bang by sharing another KNOW LUPUS public service announcement (PSA) featuring some of the best-known stars of TV and film including --- Whoopi Goldberg, Ian Harding, Tim Gunn and the cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

We are just getting started. The KNOW LUPUS PSAs have been shared with television stations across country - so be on the lookout in your community during the coming months!

Awareness is a year-round effort, and you play an important role. Thanks to progress fueled by people like you, we are seeing growing support and can share new hope for solving the cruel mystery of lupus and ending its devastating effects on millions of lives. We need the public to KNOW LUPUS if we are going to create a future with NO lupus.

We are thrilled to share that to-date, nearly 100,000 people have completed the KNOW LUPUS challenge during May, and we've raised more than $50,0000 for lupus research. If you haven't already, help raise awareness and take the KNOW LUPUS challenge today.

You can also help further your impact by making a donation to lupus research. Please give today."
