Well, my mom has Lupus, Mike. What I know about it, is that it can be fatal. It's an immunodeficiency disease. Your body's organs attack themselves, like they are invaders in the body.

There should be a website or a number for the Lupus foundation, where you can get some info that's easier to understand. Good luck.

Lupus is a disease which causes the immune system to attack the body's cells and tissue, causing inflammation and tissue damage. It can affect any part of the body, but especially the heart, joints, skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, blood vessels and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with flare-ups alternating with remissions. Lupus can occur at any age, and is most common in women. There is no cure for lupus, but this once fatal disease is now treatable with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. ...

Lupus is a disease which causes the immune system to attack the body's cells and tissue, causing inflammation and tissue damage. It can affect any part of the body, but especially the heart, joints, skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, blood vessels and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with flare-ups alternating with remissions. Lupus can occur at any age, and is most common in women. There is no cure for lupus, but this once fatal disease is now treatable with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. The survival rate is much higher for patients who receive early treatment.
