Improving the quality of life for those living with lupus through support, education and research with the goal of finding a cure.
What is Lupus?
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own healthy tissues and organs. It can affect any part of the body causing widespread pain and inflammation. Common symptoms include crippling fatigue, fever and joint pain. Lupus affects each patient differently and may go into periods of flares and remissions. There is no cure for lupus, only medications to help manage the symptoms.
You Are Not Alone
No one has to face lupus alone. Through support groups, educational resources, patient assistance, advocacy and a compassionate statewide community, the Michigan Lupus Foundation stands beside every lupus warrior and their loved ones throughout their journey.
“Lupus continues to knock me down, but I continue to get back up.”
