There’s so much to be said about the rheumatologists in LASUTH and LUTH that manage #LupusWarriors here in Lagos, their attitude to work and how they make us feel. If nobody will say it, I definitely will, and what better time than during #LupusAwarenessMonth
Today, I celebrate our doctors. For letting us invade their privacies and making themselves available every time we need them. For enduring hot stuffy consultation rooms to attend to tens of Lupus patients every clinic day.
For gladly joining our support groups and always responding to all our questions, even the most ridiculous ones. For supporting some patients financially and even helping us solicit funds from their colleagues. For always being at our beck and call 24/7
“Good afternoon everyone. I am Jay’s husband. Just wanted to inform you all that we lost Jay some days ago.
She’ll be buried next week. We’ll share the details if some of her friends on the group will like to attend.”

“Good evening, family. I am sad to inform you all that we lost one of our sisters, Tee. We are mobilizing a team to go visit her family. Here’s her husband’s account number for us if we’d like to donate to her family.”

These are the kinds of messages we often get on our lupus support group chats and I personally cannot count how many times I’ve wanted to leave the groups because I just couldn’t deal with all the sad news about how #lupus is killing people like me.

I have lupus. I haven't spoken publicly about it before now. But then coronavirus hit, killing black people at alarming rates & Trump unnecessarily put lupus patients—disproportionately black women—at higher risk. So I wrote this for @TheAtlantic. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Today is the start of #LupusAwarenessMonth. So, while the media has moved on, this is a reminder that Fox & friend, Trump, touted an unproven drug to fight coronavirus over 1,400 times during a one-month period. It was irresponsible & dangerous...
Trump unnecessarily caused a run on hydroxychloroquine, stockpiled nearly 30 million doses of it, and created a shortage of the primary drug lupus patients like Amiee take to stabilize the disease and live their lives.
