Clora - Lupus

[Guest guest]

When you get sick your body is programmed to fight off infection and

bacteria so it produces antibodies to fight off these things. Lupus

is an autoimmune disease where you body gets confused and it mistakes

your own body and cells for infection and bacteria. It therefore

fights your own body thinking it is the enemy like bacteria and

viruses. This in turn causes inflammation which in turn damages your

body. RA is very similar but it stays more confined to the joins

although it can cause problems elsewhere. In lupus it can attack any

organ or system of the body. People with lupus don't have the

deforming damage to the joints as much as people with ra but they can

get some damage. I have been blessed with both lupus and RA although

it is rare to have.

I hope I explained that in laymans terms and it made sense. LOL
