Lupus & Intimacy
Even under normal circumstances it can be difficult to talk about
sexuality and intimacy with a partner or spouse. Having an exhausting
and painful chronic illness such as lupus makes it all the more
challenging--yet important--to communicate.
From body image to sexual desire, energy, and tolerance to pain,
being sick can get in the way of many parts of a relationship. If you have
lupus, take steps to protect and nurture this important part of your
life and well-being.

Alan L. Kaye of Los Angeles Joins S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Board of Directors
The S.L.E.
Lupus Foundation, with headquarters and offices in New York
City and Los Angeles,
is proud to welcome Alan L. Kaye to its national board of directors.
When Los
Angeles rheumatologist Daniel J. Wallace, MD, diagnosed Alan and his wife
Michelle's daughter with lupus in 2006, their response was to team up with
Lupus LA, the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation's west coast division that is leading lupus
awareness in southern California and funding novel research and community
outreach services to prevent, treat, and cure the devastating disease of young
women.
Kaye brings
extensive experience and leadership skills to the board, having served on the
California Senate Advisory Commission on Life and Health Insurance and on the
board of directors for the Guaranty Bank of California.
Through his
company, Alan Kaye Insurance Agency, and as vice president of Barry Kaye
Associates, Kaye has consulted with families, business owners, and individuals
for over 30 years. The long-time Californian also has led and served on
numerous community organizations, from the Beverly Hills Residents' Association
to the Cedars-Sinai Hospital Board of Governors and the Maple Counseling
Center, a nonprofit
mental health organization.
