With spring starting to feel like it’s just around the corner we had our first Lupus Brighton and Hove coffee and chat of 2014.

It was great to see everyone who came along,. There were ten of us at the meeting, including two new members who we were happy to welcome to the group. They had found Lupus Brighton and Hove group through our website (it’s good to know that it’s helping others with lupus find our support group).

We discussed different medications, their side effects, as well as, holidays and insurance for those with lupus. We also talked about common symptoms and ways to manage them and the differences/similarities between discoid lupus, connective tissue disorder CTD and lupus SLE. It was lovely to see you all there and we hope you all enjoyed it too.
