Selena Colon's Lupus Patient Testimonial (HSS)

In 2019, Selena was diagnosed with lupus nephritis and systemic lupus erythematosus after extensive medical consultations. Despite initial treatment for kidney inflammation, she continued to experience severe symptoms affecting her quality of life. This led her to meet Lisa R. Sammaritano, MD, rheumatologist at HSS. Dr. Sammaritano provided thorough and compassionate care, discussing Selena's medical history and treatment options, including a well-tolerated medication added to her regimen.
Selena began sharing her lupus journey on social media, discovering a supportive online community. She now coaches other women with lupus, helping them manage their condition and improve their lives.
