About Lupus
Lupus is scary; it can be life threatening, life changing and incurable. But it is also treatable, survivable and most importantly, many aspects of the disease can be managed by you, the patient. The first step is to understand what is happening within and to your body.
Having lupus raises your risk of developing heart disease, osteoporosis and kidney disease.
The cause of lupus is not known. More than one factor is likely to play a role, including genes, things in your environment (like sunlight, stress, or smoking) hormones and other problems in the immune system.
Lupus can be hard to diagnose. Lupus is often mistaken for other diseases and no single test can tell you if you have it. Your doctor will review your symptoms, family history, and do a few tests to find out if you have lupus.
There is no known cure for lupus, but there are treatments.
Women with lupus can safely become pregnant. Lupus should be under control or in remission for six months before getting pregnant.
Ninety percent of the people with lupus are women. Eight of ten new cases of lupus develop among women of childbearing age; however, women of all ages as well as men and children develop the disease.
Normally, lupus develops slowly, with symptoms that come and go. Women who get lupus most often have symptoms and are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 45. But the disease also can happen in childhood or later in life.
For some people, lupus is a mild disease. But for others, it may cause severe problems. Even if your lupus symptoms are mild, it is a serious disease that needs constant monitoring and treatment. It can harm your organs and put your life at risk if untreated. |
