Does anybody no much about lupus?



my mam suffers from lupus and i would appreciate if anybody has any information about this .

Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) is a chronic disease that can cause inflammation, pain, and tissue damage throughout the body. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, in which a person's immune system attacks its own tissues as though they were foreign substances. If you develop serious lupus, you may have problems with your kidneys, heart, lungs, or blood cells.

Although some people with lupus have mild symptoms, the disease can become severe. For most people, ongoing monitoring and treatment can control symptoms and prevent serious organ damage.

There are five types of lupus erythematosus: systemic, discoid/cutaneous, subacute cutaneous, drug-induced systemic, and neonatal. This topic focuses on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common and serious type of lupus.

What are lupus symptoms like?:
Lupus symptoms vary widely, and they come and go. Common symptoms are fatigue, joint pain or swelling (arthritis), fever, and skin rash (especially with sun exposure). Mouth sores and hair loss may occur. Over time, people with lupus develop nervous system symptoms, most commonly migraine headaches. Periods of time when symptoms worsen are called relapses or flares. Periods of time when symptoms improve are called remissions. Lupus symptoms rarely disappear completely.

I found above from webmd.com.

Lupus is an auto-immune disease that can affect any part of the body. It is like the body is allergic to its own cells and organs attacking them to cause a plethora of signs and symptoms including a rash on cheeks and nose, itching, mouth ulcers, bruising, hair loss, fatigue, headaches, bleeding gums, shortness of breath, swollen joints, nausea and vomiting.

Take a look at http://www.uklupus.co.uk/. It has a lot of information about the disease and its treatments.
