D128-2012 Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) May is Lupus Awareness Month; May 10, 2012, was World Lupus Day for this year. Purple is the accepted color for awareness of this potentially crippling inflammatory auto-immune disease. Thanks to smugmugger(s) 'sisterhoodofthebras' and 'IndigoStudios' for pushing for today's (May 18) public awareness on smugmug. The whole point of 'showing' purple in connection with the lupus is to increase awareness of the existence of the disease, its serious nature and widespread presence in the population, and the need for research into treatment and potential cures for it. To that end, I looked up online some information about lupus. I will merely share one sobering fact, among many, that came out of that search for information. Doctors are as much in need of education about recognizing the symptoms of the various forms of the disease and correctly distinguishing it from other conditions that share some of the symptoms with lupus as is the general public. Proper treatment requires proper diagnosis. It would seem that we're still pretty much in the dark where this disease is concerned.
