How it all started … LUISA [Lupus Inspired Advocacy] was set up in order to increase awareness and strengthen advocacy for lupus - an unpredictable and relatively unfamiliar condition that "does not have a clear set of signs”, and PEARL [People Empowerment for Arthritis & Lupus] was recently conceived to empower patients not only with lupus but also those with similar chronic debilitating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Along the way, it became a humbling experience to learn about the daily struggles and triumphs in the lives of the patients who prove to us that their illnesses do not hamper their zest for life. Art, energy and passion unleashed … Stemming from special friendships, shared dreams and an exceptional spirit of volunteerism, these patients and their caregivers now take center stage to finally unravel “the Patient, the Artist” musicale and art exhibit. This special affair is also a fitting prelude to another LUISA initiative - the Asian Lupus Summit on November 29 to 30, themed “improving outcomes, improving lives” - is a way to thank our movers and generous supporters who have fueled the drive for lupus education and research through the years. Life can be fulfilling despite a debilitating illness. As these patients come out of their shadows, let us celebrate the beauty, life and strength of spirit - in every patient-artist, in every arthritis and lupus patient who may be going through difficult times, and in every person who cares for these patients.

We were fortunate to have this opportunity to be involved in an actual medical convention, not just for the experience of attending one, but to learn from Lupus, as well. We were provided with the experience of attending lectures given by different lupus experts from around the world.

Raphael Anthony D. Guballa Anne Therese I. Estanislao Listening to the talks helped me comprehend some of the things that confused me when I read Harrison's. I initially thought that maybe the lupus summit would be overwhelming and I wouldn't get anything. However, as we sat there and listened, the speakers, especially Professor Petri, shed light and made things seemingly easier. Francisco, Joanna Mae F. I do love how, even the experts, were not afraid not to know the answers to every question, specifically when Dr. Petri was asked on the dosage of hydrochloroquine and she just simply answered I don’t know either, it just gave a good result in my practice.

De Guzman, Lesleimar M. Attending the Asian Lupus Summit was a big opportunity for me to expound my knowledge about SLE and to experience an international conference. It was my first time to witness an overwhelming event seeing doctors from all around the world team up to share their understanding and awareness, and give their best possible treatment modalities on the disease that we all know has no cure. No medical student would refuse to accept a grand educational occasion like this.

Fidel, Karlo P. I could have studied or rested on that long weekend. But I was really curious about this, and I know I will even gain more if I attended it. I am more excited now to attend more summits and conferences especially in rheumatology again, or even other specializations. It is through continuing education indeed that will make me the best doctor that I can be in the future.

Garcia, Lawrence George P. It was great to see these world renown experts who do research and publish articles that I only get to read about in journals or books. It’s an amazing feeling to actually see and listen to them in person.
