Happy World Lupus Day/Month

I didn’t know what Lupus is until my aunt who is a lupee patient informed me that 10th May is a world lupus day and together with other colleagues in the foundation they will be celebrating as well as creating awareness to the world concerning lupus as a disease which many people are not acquainted with.

Indeed according to my findings in the various dictionaries and sources of knowledge I discovered that Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years. Lupus is also known as the wolf disease because it is able to manifest itself to look like other diseases, which makes it difficult to diagnose.
