100 QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT LUPUS
People living with lupus and their relatives, medical students or even for non-specialist doctors are regularly confronted with questions about lupus, the disease with 1000 faces. While some will have access to validated information, too many will end up on the internet, where “word of mouth”, uncontrolled data, rumours or unconfirmed research will increase their confusion, create anxiety or even lead them to incorrect actions.
In 2010, under the lead of Professor Maxime Dougados, the French centres of reference on lupus addressed this issue through the publication of booklet “100 questions about lupus”. This booklet was quickly successful amongst patients and patient associations, in France and the neighbouring French speaking countries. As the knowledge about lupus continued to progress, the book was updated on several occasions, each time with the cooperation between French renowned lupus experts and patient associations.

A hundred questions that we can ask ourselves concerning lupus…
The 100 questions initiative is a wonderful example of what cross-border collaboration among different stakeholders, such as the European reference Networks, can bring to people living with rare and low-prevalence diseases in Europe. At the end of the project, we expect that virtually all people with lupus in Europe will have access to the same high-quality information in a language they understand well. The idea is to replicate this initiative for the other diseases covered by ERN ReCONNET. (link to https://reconnet.ern-net.eu/).

The lupus in 100 questions is the result of excellent collaboration. Collaboration between doctors and patients, to bring trusted medical information answering key patient questions in a format that meets people´s needs, collaboration across borders to reach all people living with lupus in Europe, and collaboration with the readers as they can raise questions in our contact page, from where we will select new questions to be included… Also, a big thank you to our French friends who have allowed us to reuse much of their work as a starting point for this European expansion.

Finally, there is one place where I can find answers that I can trust to the many questions I have about my lupus. Until now, I was always wondering about the quality of the information I could find on internet or social media. I knew some was clearly wrong, but for the rest… Now I know I can trust these answers, written by leading doctors specialised in lupus, and checked both by their peers and by people that, like me, live with lupus
