    How Patient-Reported Outcomes Help Us Understand Lupus Quality of Life

    Today on The Wellness Pharmacist with Dr. Kat we’re talking about an important new study published in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology on February 3, 2025 about patient-reported outcomes and how it predicts health-related quality of life. Key Takeaways: 🔹 Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are powerful tools! 🔹 Fatigue is a major burden. 🔹 Doctors and patients don’t always see eye to eye. Listener Question: 📞 “Hi, Dr. Kat. My doctor mostly relies on lab tests to track my lupus, but I feel awful even when my blood work looks fine. How can I get my doctor to take my symptoms more seriously?” 💡 If you have a question about lupus or autoimmune conditions, send it my way—I’d love to answer it in a future episode! 📌 For more insights on autoimmune health, visit my website, www.innovationsmedicationmanagement.com, or follow me on social media. #LupusAwareness #AutoimmuneFatigue #ChronicIllness #PatientAdvocacy #FatigueInLupus #Lupus #Autoimmune
