Do You Have a Question For A Lupus Expert?

Hello, my name is Dawn Isherwood and I am one of the Nurse Health Educators for the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). Have you seen the Ask the Experts section of the lupus.org Website? In this section, you can submit questions to our panel of nationally-renowned lupus medical experts. We get a wide range of questions, from diagnoses to treatment options ... to how lupus affects the body to pregnancy ... to issues that are specific to men, women and children who are living with lupus. We also encourage family members of those living with lupus to submit questions.

While our panelists cannot respond to every question submitted, we do try to answer as many questions as possible. Typically, we select questions that may be of interest to a broad cross-section of people. These questions and answers are posted in the appropriate category in our Ask the Experts archive. Questions of a highly personal nature will be answered individually, and will not appear on the LFA Website.

The Ask the Experts section receives several questions a day and the LFA attempts to answer questions as quickly as possible. Some questions may take longer to answer, as the experts who have been chosen to respond to the inquiry may not be readily available. So hang in there.

And remember, keep your questions coming!

Lupus.org Spotlight: Ask the Lupus Experts

Happy Wednesday to you.

Thought I'd do something a bit different for this entry. There are a lot of great resources on the lupus.org Website. Every so often, I will take the opportunity to highlight some of these areas via the blog.

Today, I'd like to tell you about the Ask the Experts section.

The Ask the Experts section is a place where you can submit a question to our panel of nationally-renowned lupus medical experts. While our panelists cannot respond to every question submitted, they will select questions that may be of interest to a broad cross-section of people living with lupus, and we will post those questions -- and the experts' responses -- on the lupus.org Website.

The form to submit a question is here.

The LFA archives all questions that have been answered by the experts. You can view the archive here. To more quickly find what you're looking for, questions and answers have been grouped into topical categories. Some of those categories include:

Definitely check out all of this great information.

Until next time, Wick
