I am no professional but I know a bit about two types of lupus. I myself have SLE lupus where as my daughter has Discoid lupus. Her lupus is unique to the skin. Mine is the type tyhat can cause organ damage among other problems. I dont know why the lady you mentioned only lost her hair. It is possible that she has discoid lupus and it is effecting her scalp. I am not sure. I myself am losing hair but that is from the medication I am on to fight the lupus. They say it will pass eventually but until then I remain the reason for the shower drain clogging regularly  although I wont admit it to anyone here at home. I can give you some information and websites to check out that are a vast wealth of information if you would like. I know when I first learned about lupus I was a mess and couldnt get my hands on enough information. The best thing to do is to take it slowly. Pace yourself and educate yourself as much as possible. Try not to overwhelm yourself. Lupus used to be called the "woman killing disease" but its not like that anymore. It isnt nearly as fatal as it once was. Dont think of it as a death sentence sweetie. It can be treatable in most cases. Let me know if I can hook you up with some sites that are resourceful and informative as well as local resources for you in your area. Take care and let us know how you are doing.  |
