Lupus Support Group
Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.

My daughter is having her third treatment today. An I.V. drip three days running. I will keep you posted on her results. So far it has just made her a little tired after the treatments.

It can be a little unsettling if you're feeling "off".
