February is #HeartMonth, a time when everyone – especially women – are encouraged to bring attention to the importance of heart health, and what we can do to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Today is National #WearRedDay, a day to Rock your Red in support and awareness for Women's Heart Health. Your red attire is a powerful statement of support because losing even one woman to cardiovascular disease is too many. ❤️

As #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek ends, we reflect on the implications that autoimmune conditions with invisible symptoms can have on patients’ journeys.
Due to the invisible nature of these symptoms, women are often dismissed and struggle to be seen, heard, diagnosed and treated
Invisible symptoms can have a major impact on autoimmune patients, resulting in:
⏳ Longer Diagnosis Times
❌ Misdiagnosis
❤️ Negative Health Outcomes
@FemmeBright is committed to improving the health outcomes for the 40M women with autoimmune conditions in the U.S. and Canada.
For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, Lindsay Ireland’s story on the Chatter That Matters podcast with @TonyChapman seems fitting.
It's a perfect example of a patient with multiple autoimmune conditions who turned feeling invisible to resilient through her lifelong health journey.
To hear Lindsay’s full story about how she perseveres, despite the invisible nature of her autoimmune conditions, listen to the podcast ➡️

Chances are, you know someone who is living with an autoimmune disease like MS, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Approximately 50 million Americans have been diagnosed with at least one autoimmune disease, not to mention those who are still searching for a diagnosis

The stark reality is that autoimmunity predominantly affects females. In fact, 80% of people affected by these chronic conditions are female who are left to navigate their lifelong health journey largely on their own.

Today is #WorldMenopauseDay – a day to #breakthebias and speak more candidly about how menopause impacts women around the world.
There is a colossal gap with respect to awareness, understanding and appropriate treatment of menopause and its associated symptoms.

This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, an awareness campaign that many women with autoimmune conditions can relate to. Most women suffering from autoimmune conditions experience symptoms that aren't obvious to the naked eye, yet are painful and disrupt their quality of life.

The theme of this year’s campaign, #timetobelieve, is very fitting. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not real. Instead of dismissing, judging and/or avoiding, let’s be understanding, compassionate, supportive, provide encouragement, and let’s start believing!
