Why dont ppl with Lupus get sick?


plz answer mii....

We do get sick. Where did you get the idea that we don't?

For us, a cold or the flu can turn fatal. We take drugs to WEAKEN our immune systems because our immune systems are attacking our own bodies. This means we can't fight other illnesses very well.

From the lupus alone, I had bone marrow failure, pancytopenic anemia, beginning kidney failure, and congestive heart failure. We do get sick.
