Lupus Support Groups Online

Lupus is often invisible, so people hear that they do not look sick on the days they feel their worst. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with long-term illness, where members know what an invisible illness is like.

Live groups available daily.

Topic context

Understanding lupus

Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue. It can affect joints, skin and organs, it comes in flares, and because symptoms such as fatigue and pain cannot be seen, many people feel their illness is doubted.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with lupus

Peer support can help with lupus because being doubted is exhausting. In a group you can save your energy for talking about how you are really doing.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a lupus group?

No lupus group exists on ShareWell today. The groups shown are for people with invisible and long-term illnesses of many kinds, and the gentle sessions next to them are open to everyone.

I do not have a firm diagnosis yet. Can I join?

Yes. Lupus can be hard to diagnose, and a diagnosis is not needed to join.

What if a flare keeps me from attending?

Nothing is lost. You can come back whenever you are able.

Where can I find medical information about lupus?

The Lupus Foundation of America (lupus.org) has patient information and health educators who answer questions.
