Butterflies of Hope – 9th Annual Flight of the Butterflies
Spreading Lupus Awareness One Butterfly at a time
Let this butterfly flutter all over cyberspace!
May 21st Lupus Fact
People with lupus may experience symptoms typical of one or more other diseases. In these cases, a physician may use the term “overlap” to describe the illness. Common diseases that overlap with lupus:
Autoimmune thyroid disease
Celiac disease
Myasthenia gravis
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Rheumatoid arthritis
Polymyositis
Dermatomyositis
Scleroderma
Sjögren’s syndrome
Raynaud’s
Fibromyalgia
There is no time limit on when a second (or even third) overlapping autoimmune disease may develop, although it is most likely to happen shortly after the first diagnosis.
This is your twentieth Butterfly of Hope.
We need awareness! We need a cure!
Encourage everyone you know to let it FLY!
