My Life Works Today! is a Pacific Northwest (Oregon and SW Washington) health networking project designed to act as a resource and service 'hub' for patients living with lupus and lupus-related conditions, diseases, and syndromes. Even though participation in the local workshops, presentations and community forums are available for those of us living here, we offer anyone in this Ning community to join in on our goals to connect, celebrate and aim for lives on our own terms.

The primary function of Lupus International is to alleviate suffering for lupus patients through patient services, including education, early detection of undiagnosed cases through awareness promotion, and to eradicate lupus by supporting lupus research. There is hope. Since 1983, we have provided thousands of people with educational and supportive services. We assist those affected by lupus to live fuller, more productive lives.
Lupus affects well over a 1.5 million people in North America, and is said to affect over 10 million people worldwide, yet Lupus is far from the household name that say Breast Cancer or HIV is for example. This community is for us to get together and work out what we can do together to raise awareness for a condition that affects so many people.
The major problem in discussing the role of diet is that there are so many factors involved.People living with lupus are individuals with different backgrounds, habits and medical histories, who respond to substances differently at different times. It is difficult to evaluate whether any specific dietary change is responsible for exacerbating the symptoms of lupus. The addition or elimination of one substance from the diet can be the remedy for one person and the culprit for another. There is certainly no harm in exploring how diet impacts symptoms, as long as your overall health is not compromised.This community is for all of us to share ideas, tips and experiences with diet and nutrition in the management of lupus symptoms.
This group is for those who want to share, learn or hear more about caring for those with Lupus. Engage in conversation with those who you might learn something from, share your tips and insights about what might help out those caring for individuals living with Lupus.

Whether you have been diagnosed with a condition or not, it can often be hard to deal with the everyday trials that life throws at us - its probably fair to say that if you have been diagnosed, life might just be that little harder to deal with. Taking a step back and realizing that there are positive ways to deal with pain can be a great way to leading a happier life. How do you deal with pain? Do you have special ways of dealing with things? If you do, share your knowledge - you could help others!
