| Welcome
to Lupus Online If you need to ask "What's Lupus?" , this home page is for you. We exist for the benefit of lupus patients and their loved ones. The longer name for Lupus is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). It is a medical illness affecting the immune system in such a way that it starts to attack the patient's tissues instead of protecting them. For some it can be very mild, for others it may mean a lifelong illness with the potential for serious consequences such as kidney failure. It is fascinating for researchers but frightening for patients. However with proper medical treatment the illness can be controlled and patients who understand their illness cope much better and can lead fairly normal lives. Feel free to find out more about what we do, about the latest in medical research on Lupus. E-mail us to exchange views and support us with your encouragement and financial contributions. Help us in our fight against lupus. |
