The Editor of Lupus Now® magazine needs your help with the Summer 2012 issue!

Unusual jobs: For our cover story we are looking for men with lupus who will talk about how they balance their out-of-the-ordinary job with the challenges of lupus. If that description fits you, write to us at lupusnow@lupus.org, with "unusual" in the subject line. Please include a little bit about your life with lupus, along with your name, location, and telephone number.

Play: Do you still get silly and play the way you did as a child? We’re going to write about the importance of playfulness, and how acting like a kid again can benefit your health. If you know how to unwind and how not to act your age, write to us at lupusnow@lupus.org, with "play" in the subject line. Please include a little bit about your life with lupus, along with your name, location, and telephone number.

Spirituality: Has a sense of spirituality helped you on your lupus journey? If you have some suggestions for other readers, write to us at lupusnow@lupus.org, with "spirit" in the subject line. Please include a little bit about your life with lupus, along with your name, location, and telephone number.

Skin: Symptoms of cutaneous lupus can range from rashes to lesions, causing scarring, changes in pigment, and more. If you have experienced skin involvement due to lupus and you can talk about treatments that have helped—whether from medication or a procedure—write to us at lupusnow@lupus.org, with "skin" in the subject line. Please include a little bit about your life with lupus, along with your name, location, and telephone number.

My View: Maybe nothing comes more naturally than daydreaming about summertime during the chill of winter. Send a description of your ideal summer vacation, in 30 words or less, to lupusnow@lupus.org, with "vacation" in the subject line. We’ll print as many as we can in the Summer issue, and post the rest online at lupusnow.org.
