I am inquring about the disease, Lupus? |
Please explain what the disease is and what it does to the body, and what is the life span.please email me at susans1949@yahoo.com. Thanks Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects different people differently. There is no 'lifespan' per se. Lupus is a disease that affects many different organ systems and depending on which one the lupus attacks will depend on the severity of the disease and can affect the longevity of the person. Basically, Lupus is the exact opposite of AIDS. In lupus you have an over active immune system that attacks not only invading substances it also attacks your good cells as well, causing inflamation and pain. Over time, many arthritic symptoms occur as well as heart, kidney and brain issues. My wife has been diagnosed with lupus since she was 15 and she is now 29. She is feeling very well but has her days of pain. She takes medication that helps with the symptoms. It would be better to read something about it on this site. The life span varies from one person to the next because of the different types of Lupus. http://www.medicinenet.com/systemic_lupu... |
