Help a SCG take on Lupus.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, blood, kidneys and brain. Normally the body's immune system makes proteins called antibodies, to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens.

Sorry to hear about the diagnosis, but glad you caught it fairly early on. How did you know that's what was wrong?

My best friend suffers from Lupus. She was diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis for a long time by a doctor's group here in town. They had messed up a lot of people, and had lost some Lupus patients through misdiagnosis. She learned this via an anonymous phone call from a staffer.

Thankfully, she got (and continues to get treatment) for Lupus. She's strong and she's hanging in there. I'm glad...she's an incredible lady.

I wish you strength, and hope, and courage in your fight. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
