With many Lupus Warriors avoiding in-office doctors visits due to COVID-19 concerns, self-management and accountability is vital. Managing and understanding your symptoms is key in self-management, as well as sharing resources and information with your treatment team.
Check out this month’s Q&A Forum!
Lupus Warriors should be active participants in their care and treatment, especially in current times. Doctors visits may be off the table, so monitoring your medications, symptoms, flares, and mental health is extremely important.
In this month’s LupusCorner Q&A Forum, Lupus Warriors share their experience with self-managing their lupus, as well as staying accountable throughout the process.
I have several health conditions, including lupus, and it seems like all of them are better controlled when I do as much self-management as possible. That makes sense, don’t you think? I know me better than anybody else does, after all! I can see right away what’s working and what isn’t.
I do not think self care is not as positive as many of you are saying, it is not best for me through virtual as the doctor can’t do vitals or blood test, and when medication don’t work, or you having pain and diet don’t always work for everyone, my doctor just wanna prescribe drugs and don’t talk about nothing to self manage me, I’m just being truthful are yall

I’m not really sure what self-management means. I don’t think there is anything lupus specific. Just stuff everyone should do to keep healthy.
