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.

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.

Inside the room

What lupus groups often cover

  • Hearing that you do not look sick
  • Flares that upset every plan
  • Rationing energy through the day
  • Medication side effects and body changes

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Good fit for

Who these groups may help

  • People diagnosed with lupus
  • People waiting for a clear diagnosis
  • Anyone living with an invisible illness

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.
