Dr. Jillian Rose also shared some great analogies for what NOT talking about sex health is like!

🔸…it’s like treating half the disease.
🔸…is like measuring function without asking about QoL (quality of life)

Learning a lot in an #ACR25 session led by @ireneblanco.bsky.social & hearing Patient Advocate, Grayson Schultz speak on the many barriers LGBTQIA+ individuals face while trying to access healthcare & how to navigate rheumatology care as an LGBTQIA+ patient. #LADAorg #LupusChat @ladaorg.bsky.social

Dr. Martha Delgado gave a great #ACR25 presentation focused on improving patient participation in clinical trials in Latino communities. She shared barriers for both patients & providers as well current efforts to remove barriers.

Many #lupus patients are concerned with potential side effects of both drug interventions as well as disease worsening such as hair loss, rashes, weight gain, gastrointestinal problems; outcomes that may be socially challenging to young people in the prime of their lives. @lupuschat.bsky.social

Disease onset coincides with critical years for education and career advancement, #lupus profoundly disrupts working lives. We need treatments that will improve qol so people with lupus can achieve their hopes and dreams and be parents.

While some drugs provide benefits to people with #lupus, significant side effects exist and can cause an increase in infections, cancer, significant bone loss and osteoporosis, sterility, and stroke among many other adverse health consequences. We need an arsenal of new drugs! @lupuschat.bsky.social

It is estimated that as many as one in every 250 African American women in America has #lupus and huge health disparities exist. There is a critical need for #socialdeterminants of health (SDOH) to be addressed as well. #LupusAwareness @lupuschat.bsky.social @caringforlupus.bsky.social
