ABOUT US

Our Founding Story

In 2008, Fauzat Olapojoye Sanusi, a vibrant educator, began to notice alarming body changes—hair loss, persistent weakness, and unexplained symptoms. For years, answers remained elusive until 2018 when a dermatologist identified the condition as an autoimmune response: Lupus.

Further tests (ANA and ENA panels) confirmed the diagnosis. However, being under-dosed with medications left her battling worsening symptoms. In 2021, she met Dr. Olaosebikan, a rheumatologist at LASUTH, who provided the right guidance. By then, her kidneys had been affected, but through treatment and strict dietary adjustments, she entered a period of reversal and healing.

Her resilience and determination inspired her to create a platform that would raise awareness, offer support, and empower others facing lupus. This journey gave birth to the Lupus Remedies Global (LUREG) Support Foundation.
