Thank you Anna and Lupus Corner for the standard of your content. It’s heartening to see rising awareness about the social and environmental effects on lupus, but until national/regional/individual healthcare systems or providers give the disease more recognition – let alone the factors that affect its outcomes – then the onus is still on the ill patient to research and attempt to access additional resources. I’m in New Zealand. Our public healthcare system really struggles with lupus diagnosis and management. It took nearly 8 years to be diagnosed (unbelievable lack of validation – s in your article), yet I still feel invisible. We also have a shortage of rheumatologists – especially good ones.
