Lupus Warriors: The Lupus Foundation helps people cope with a cruel, incurable disease
Anne Marie Blacketer is the CEO of the Lupus Foundation of America \u2013 Texas Gulf Coast Chapter. Lupus is a rare and currently incurable disease that is not benefitting from much media exposure nor is it receiving enough research funding. The Lupus Foundation is changing this by creating support groups and sharing advice on how to alleviate Lupus symptoms. Staying active, taking medicine (although there are currently very few options), staying out of the sun and diet are all important considerations. We also discuss the cruel nature of Lupus which is difficult to diagnose. Often, people suffer for years before being properly diagnosed.
