Lupus is a chronic, long-lasting autoimmune disease. For reasons unknown the immune system, becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissue and/or organs. The attack can result in inflammation and bring about various, sometimes non-specific symptoms.
Lupus is a disease that can affect many parts of the body. Everyone reacts differently, and no two peoples symptoms are identical. One person with lupus may have joint aches & pains, and suffer with a fever. Another person may be tired all the time or have kidney trouble. Someone else may have rashes. Lupus can involve the joints, the skin, the kidneys, the lungs, the heart and/or the brain. If you have lupus, it may affect two or three parts of your body.
The good news is that you can get help and fight lupus. Learning about it is the first step. Ask questions. Talk to your doctor, family, and friends. People who look for answers are more likely to find them.
This is taken from my site. I almost lost my husband to Lupus two years ago, and we recently started our own website & forum.
I hope this helps.
