What is lupis?


Question:
Someone in my family has it and we know nothing about it

Answers:
Correctly spelled Lupus, its an autoimmune disease that affects the skin, and major organs, and eyes. The side effects while its flaring up resemble Parkinsons Disease in some people. This disease runs on my mother's side of the family and most of her female relatives have it. There is no cure, however, they usually treat you with anti-flammatory drugs that cause weight gain. This disease mostly affects african american, hispanic, and asian women but caucasion women get it as well and some men are reporting to have been diagnosed with it.

Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. The body's immune system normally makes proteins called antibodies to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens. In an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies directed against "self." These antibodies, called "auto-antibodies," react with the "self" antigens to form immune complexes. The immune complexes build up in the tissues and can cause inflammation, injury to tissues, and pain.
