Lupus is a tough illness that causes pain, tiredness, and skin problems, and in South Africa, people manage it with medicine, sun protection, and regular doctor visits. Every May, communities come together to raise awareness, share stories, and support those living with lupus, especially on World Lupus Day. Dr. Deepthi Abraham, who both treats patients and lives with lupus herself, shows how courage and understanding help people keep going despite hard days. Living with lupus means facing surprises and challenges, but with strong community support and care, many find hope and strength to carry on.
