Online Support Network

There are many websites that can be a great way to connect with people who can relate to your situation! There are a few things you need to know, however, before you delve into the world of online support.

These sites can help you connect with other Lupus fighters that can relate to what you are going through.

Blogs - A blog is an online journal. Reading other people's blogs can help you feel not so alone. Writing a blog can be very therapeutic as well as helpful to others.

Message Boards - These are like bulletin boards where people can post a question, idea, thought, rant, etc. and other members can post answers or responses. Rules vary by board.
