Answers:    Basically it's an autoimmune condition where your immune system has become overactive and your body is essentially attacking itself fairly than attack the 'bad guys' such as viruses.
toms are many (often cause misdiagnosis) and vary from patients to patient but most have combined pains, muscle aches, fatigue and depression, there are more such as hair loss, rash, pleurisy, mouth ulcers etc.

It's very treatable with medication (the first step is usually anti malarials to serene your immune system down). You can also do a lot to help yourself such as eating a thriving diet and taking exercise when you can.

You need to receive as much info as you can but be VERY careful where you get it from as there's some utter claptrap on the internet. Our site is overseen by doctors (www.lupus.org.uk) and has a specific piece of information for newly diagnosed patients (http://www.lupus.org.uk/information/info… and the USA also has a polite lupus site (www.lupus.org).

We have a nurse online that you can e-mail with any concerns http://lupus.org.uk/onlinenurse.htm, her own daughter has lupus and she be a sister in the lupus unit for about 15 years so is drastically knowledgable.
mber lupus is only part of your life not adjectives of it. Good luck! Source(s): www.lupus.org.uk
