February is Heart Month and we know that the heart and cardiovascular system, like other organ systems of the body, can be affected by lupus.  Lupus can also affect affairs of the heart and relationships.  What happens when someone you love Is diagnosed with lupus?  It can be hard to understand the needs of our loved one especially when the signs and symptoms of lupus aren’t always obvious.  Feelings and emotions can get overwhelming, but taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do to support your loved one.  The stronger you remain—physically and mentally—the more support you will be able to offer.  Join us to learn some tips to care for the caregiver.
