Patients suffering from lupus, an auto-immune disease, shared their experiences at an awareness programme organised by Manipal Hospital in Mysuru recently.
According to a statement here, the awareness programme was a patient-focused event to increase awareness about the disease among affected individuals and people having similar symptoms.
“In this disease, the body’s immune system affects the skin, kidney, heart, blood cells and lungs. It can be managed with medication, but cannot be cured. Many patients came forward and shared their journey with lupus,” the statement said.
