So often we forget that, even though Lupus tends to affect women most often, there are many men who are facing the same challenges. In fact, lupus can sometimes be even more severe for men in terms of symptoms and coping. Although it isn’t easy for some of us women to ask for help or accept the changes in our lives, men are often inclined to prefer not to acknowledge or seek support in this ‘women’s disease’.
On behalf of us here at MLWT, we want to be sure and reach out to these men/sons/fathers/brothers/friends whose lives have been affected by lupus. We wish all men who are living with illness, in addition to the men who share their lives with other’s living with lupus, a very peaceful and loving Father’s Day – whether they are fathers or not.
You are not forgotten.
