Can people with Lupus work? What kind of work can they perform?
See how people with experience in Lupus give their opinion about whether people with Lupus can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Lupus
I found that most lupus patients I know cannot work in any field. I can only work from home. Working from home is the best alternative for lupus patients. I think maybe 25% of lupus patients could work in any field.

About 50/60 % of lupus suffers can work as long as it is not tiring physical work, work in the sun, or under strong artificial lights

Yes. As long as symptoms are controlled.

Of course! It does depend on “flares”. During which, exhaustion wins!

Yes, people with Lupus can work at any type of job depending on the limitations of the individual. I think that 25% of Lupus patients can work

In my opinion, I do not think people with Lupus can work im just any field, if they can work at all.There are many fields of work a person with Lupus could not carry out, however that is dependent upon the person and where they are at with the disease. Everyone person is different.In my opinion I would say roughly 20% of people with Lupus work in any field.

Some can work others cannot. Depending on your severity and flares. Mine included neurological problems migraines, seizures, memory loss. It's harder to work when it's neurological.

People with lupus definitely can work. As in all diseases, there are those who are unable to work. Some patients go through periods of being unable to work, then are able to go back.

Lupus affects very differently to each person. There are people who have many disabling symptoms that can not work, and after many sick days end up getting a utter inability to. Other people have fewer symptoms and can live a fairly normal life and have a regular job but in times of an outbreak may require low medical. Some people with lupus have recognized a minusvañia equal to or superior to 33% that can provide enter in some work or choose to a place in the oppositions.
As a general rule I would say that people with lupus have more difficulties than healthy people in the labor market. Although each person is a world if you have lupus and symptoms that make working difficult for you, applying for the recognition of a degree of disability or a temporary or permanent disability.

Depend on each case and its manifestations.
It is good to opt for jobs that do not involve physical efforts plaintiffs and large loads of stress.

If you can work but in a job that is not be many hours of walking, or carrying heavy loads or subjected to endless days of work, no stress.
I was a professional of tourism and I had to leave, now I'm in an office only half a day because my body can't take more. I think that's a simple job, sitting and half-day.
I would say a 20%
Very few because when there are days that you can't get out of bed or you have an outbreak and you can not go to work, your superior does not understand it and end up despidiéndote.

In my case I work half a day, provided it is not a work involving much physical effort, because in that case my body has just resenting. With the half-day I have found the perfect balance and work without carrying my body to the limit of fatigue, and pain.

The truth, if you can work with Lupus. But something that you do not stress or do forces.
Despite the fact that my lupus is asleep, I feel pain each day and because of this, every time I look for work I shut the doors. The last time, I went to interview with a Dentist where his response was: "I'm So sorry, but for your disease, I can't hire". WE ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!
And the government is not us pensiona.

I believe that each case is a case. There are people with Lupus that has very few symptoms and no commitment, but we must not forget that lupus can be extremely aggressive and do not generalize. I'm happy for those who lead normal lives and can all.
And compassionate those who are suffering, that have difficulties to keep own house clean, because one day cleaning each other on the bed. As a person that will keep a job. Which company you will hire only for the days that you can get out of bed?

Yes, there is a limiting condition to perform the activities normally saved in specific cases in which the disease is in a critical state.
What's advisable is to maintain an environment with low stress and try to avoid activities under the sun.
