Good!!! I hope it fosters some research into new (and safer) treatments and someday...a cure!!!

Oh thank you so much for sharing that. I had to tell my mother. She's suffered from Lupus since I was quite young (she was diagnosed directly after the birth of my little sister) and she's suffered horribly since. It was a combination of the Lupus treatment drugs and the disease itself (which has gone from affecting mostly her skin with a welty-rash to her central nervous system).

Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks. More people need to be educated and aware of Lupus. No one seems to take any notice of it and it's a devistating disease at times.

*hugs* I agree; far too few know about the disease, the poor manner in which it's been researched, and the devastation it brings to young, vital people.

Thanks for the info. Learned loads from this article. The government should seriously think about funding research on lupos.
