Why a blog about Lupus

My dear friend,

I have created this blog to offer you support and encouragement as you walk the lonely and long walk with Lupus. It will be a place where you can share thoughts, pain, and celebration. I understand the feelings that you are having because, I too, have been diagnosed with Lupus. But, my story has turned out wonderfully.

I have been healed by the name of Jesus Christ from Lupus. I intend to share my experience of healing with you and pray for your healing.

One of the reasons I have started this blog is that a lot of you readers have been searching through the Internet for Christian healing of Lupus. I have another blog Supernatural Christian where many of you have come to find your answer. This blog will be totally dedicated to you and your needs.

I am for you, not against you. I am dedicating myself to your needs. You are the most important subject of this blog.

Hi Sorry to contact via a post. I could not find an email address to contact you. I wanted to pass along a new Lupus resource.

It is through a website www.lupus.physiciansforpatients.com

It is a community of lupus folks that interact online to give one another support.

There is a dedicated physician on the site to answer questions for the patients.

We originated as a group of doctors dedicated to helping people online in a way to help with high health care costs. The idea is to give a free resource to people that need alternative opinions and information. There are a lot of people that have limited access to health care (can’t find a specialist in their area, long wait times, etc.). This way it is easier for a smaller number of physicians to help a larger number of people.

Dr. Shanahan is the doctor. He is board certified in Rheumatology and trained at Duke University

In addition, we will be incorporating 'health trackers' soon! This tool can be used by the patients to track their symptoms and to see what may be contributing to them.

Physicians for Patients will also be looking for associations (trends in complex data sets of the cumulative data collected in this large community of patients. This is done in an automated anonymous manner). This is the exciting part! Our hope is to identify correlations between symptoms, daily activities, medications, and the environment. This will help us to better understand Lupus and hopefully to guide us to new potential treatments.

Please help us to spread the word about what we are trying to do (any group messages that can be sent/ links/ blogs are much appreciated) In order for us to make some new head way into better understanding lupus through identifying new correlations we need quite a large people to participate.


Thx!
