lupus

Lupus is a connective tissue disease. There are different form of lupus and not all lupus patients exhibit the same symptoms. There are certain criteria that doctors go by.

Lupus cannot be summed up in a post so that you fully understand how it affects the body and various nervous systems, but you can check out the The American Lupus Foundation (www.americanlupusfoundation.org) or read "The Lupus Book" by Dr. Daniel J. Wallace, Chief of the Rheumatology Dept. at Cedars Sinai. He's considered one of the world's leading experts on lupus. You can get this from most any bookstore. You can also order it from Amazon.com. Your local library might even have it.
