Lupus & You: Fatigue and Pain Management
Extreme fatigue and joint pain are two of the most prominent symptoms of lupus. Lupus-related fatigue and pain are deeply connected and often reinforce each other, making symptom management challenging. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with lupus for years, this webinar will provide valuable tools to help you take control of your health.
Speakers:
- Dr. Daniel Clauw, Professor of Anesthesiology, Medicine (Rheumatology) and Psychiatry, The University of Michigan
- Dr. Julius Birnbaum, Rheumatologist, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
In-person Events
Join us in-person at a Regional Empowerment Conference in a city near you
We are excited to introduce a series of in-person Lupus & You events hosted by our regional offices and local chapters. These events will educate and engage lupus warriors, care partners, families and friends. During half-day sessions you will get the latest information on living and coping with lupus from noted experts. Best of all, these events will provide the opportunity to meet other people dealing with the challenges of lupus and make meaningful connections with your local lupus community.
