Spreading Lupus Awareness One Butterfly at a time
Let this butterfly flutter all over cyberspace!
May 25th Lupus Fact
Lupus is a chronic disease that requires expensive long-term treatment. The estimated average annual cost of treatment for a person with lupus is nearly $33,223. Approximately $50,000 is lost annually by each lupus patient in healthcare and lost productivity, this includes partial to full loss of income. Undoubtedly, the financial burden of this disease is huge for everyone it affects. Many patients face financial struggles when it comes to covering their treatment.
Many report having partial loss of their income because they no longer are able to work full time due to complications of lupus. Others report that they are temporarily disabled and often many become permanently disabled not able to work at all.
This is your twenty-fifth Butterfly of Hope.
We need awareness! We need a cure!
Encourage everyone you know to let it FLY!
