After the first SLE public forum in Johor, held on 30th January 2010, we manage to form our Johor Chapter committee, headed by Pn. Alimah as the president. Subsequently we had several meetings, during which the committee decided to conduct a 2nd public forum. We organised this on 27th June 2010 1-5pm at Monash Clinical School lecture hall, Johor Bahru. About 80 participants attended this forum and 2 talks were given. I talked on the medications of SLE and their side effects and Dr.Yoga (an Orthopaedic Surgeon) spoke on the orthopaedic complications of SLE therapy. It was an interesting event with many participants asking various questions. I would like to thank Roche for sponsoring the event.
Dear Dr. Pagalavan,
I am a new reader of your blog .
May I know when are you going to organize the next SLE forum?
A friend of mine, Priscillia, is A SLE patient. Her condition is not very good recently. We are staying at Bukit Indah area. Would like to recommend her to go to your for further consultation.
Thanks.

I am not sure when as the committee has to decide. Our SLE association of Johor ‘s president just underwent a surgery but should be back soon. You can probably contact Alimah at “alimah_abd@yahoo.com” for further info regarding our SLE association’s activity.
