The Fight Against Lupus

Unfortunately, Lupus is a disease that is unknown to many and even more unfortunate is that it is a disease that is all too common, with about 1.5 million Americans having the disease, according to Lupus Foundation of America. Many of the things thought to cause Lupus are done everyday by Americans, unaware of the danger they may be putting themselves in by skipping the sunscreen or attempting to perform under large amounts of stress. This disease is serious and should be treated as such. Many of the common questions related to Lupus include:

What exactly is Lupus?
How do I know if I, or someone I love, has Lupus?
What are the signs of the early stages of Lupus?
What causes Lupus?
How can I prevent this disease at home?
Are there treatments or cures for this disease?
What are some of the foundations or groups I can join or follow to get more involved?
Where can I get more information on and about this disease?

And most importantly: how exactly do the treatments work to help patients?
