“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
The support group led the Lupus Warriors to IRACON 2019 in Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Pondicherry. The support group along with the doctors attended the conference at Pondicherry, which brought together people from all over the country to join hands for the same cause.
The conference covered a large range of topics over 2 days ranging from standard care to breaking down myths about rheumatic diseases. It looked into all aspects including psychosocial counselling and the correct exercise techniques.
The end result of the conference was that the patients left knowing that they are not alone in their journey, in fact, Lupus left them with opportunities to meet a wider community and have many more adventures.
