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.

Months ago me and my husband moved, from the city to the country, ive met a few people here and some people have heard of lupus, but others are not quite sure what it is, i try my best to keep positive wen people ask questions but i have had some ridiculous ones, like today, one woman was talking about gardening, than she mentioned if u can catch lupus from manure, i was horrified, than one asked me 'is it like leaukemia? oh and this ones a winner, 'its like aids'....im so shocked at how ridiculous people can be........sometimes i just cant believe half the things that some people come out and say......

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Most of the people I know are in the medical field so I don't get a lot of wierd things like that but I do get the "Are you taking your med's?" and some "Do you know what will happen if you don't take the coumadin?" as if 3 bouts of lung clots did not teach me a thing.Some times the RNs think the lab tech walked in off the street and went to work running the tests they forget I had to go to school too.My doctor keeps trying to talk to me like I have no clue. I guess its better to have it over explained than not at all......Deb
