In Honor of Lupus Awareness month I wanted to share some facts about the diease. No matter what you Read.. Remember God is THE HEALER! I ask that everyone who reads say a little prayer for someone who may be dealing with this diease or in other chronic illness.. then say Thank you God for being a Healer Today I Pray for the following people who have shared their story with the world..Toni Braxton, Lady Gaga, Tim Rains, Nick Cannon, Jasmine Guy, Selena Gomez, Seal.. and any more. Remember Prayer for someone else because someone Prayed for you! Lupus is a complicated disease. Whether it has been suggested you may have lupus, or you have a definitive diagnosis, you should know these 10 basic facts about lupus. * Lupus is an autoimmune, rheumatic disease. *There are five types of lupus. • Systemic lupus erythematosus - affects joints and organs • Discoid lupus - affects the skin • Sub-acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus - characterized by a specific, non-scarring skin lesion • Drug-induced lupus - develops after a drug reaction • Neonatal lupus - affects newborns * **Ninety percent of lupus patients are women.*** * Lupus diagnosis may be difficult. * Lupus treatment depends on symptoms and severity of symptoms. * Up to 1.5 million people across the nation may have lupus. *Certain races have an increased risk of developing lupus.
