Lupus 505

A: Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease officially named Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. This means that the immune system becomes destructive within the body (overactive immune system) attacking healthy cells and causing chronic pain and inflammation. Because even if your friends do know about Lupus, they might not understand, what causes your flares, or symptoms. When my sister was diagnosed she

expressed a desire for a place to turn to for help, kind words, understanding. This is what was born because of her desire. Thank you for helping us help the patients live a better tomorrow, and who knows? Possibly one day, they can be Lupus-free.

Lady Gaga’s new song, Joanne, is a very touching tribute to her late aunt who died on December 18, 1974. She died when she was just 19 years old, due to lupus.

Who's doing anything with special diets or nutrients to keep their lupus in line? Is cutting out inflammatory stuff like sugar, caffeine or wheat making a difference for you?

I'm going to be starting a Q and A for people who want more info on auto immune diseases or lupus. You can ask a question whether you're a survivor or a supporter of someone fighting the battle with their body.

I know I haven't been on in a while and I apologize. I just started looking through my Young Living Essential oils. I'm a distributor now and the wish list is getting long. So far I have tried a Thieves and RC blend that has done wonders for my cough and cold. I'm now in a search for a blend for depression and pain management.
