If anyone wants to keep track of what Lupus has snatched and effected on me would be the follow:
Heart, Lungs, Liver, Stomach, and it looks like the kidneys are the next to go. Some will tell you that the brain as been bit, but I am not sure. Myspace Layouts .. Myspace Layouts <
Music
Music that fits the soul like a glove without choking the very last breath out of your ailing
body.
About me:
I am an RN who USED to work, however, because of this wonderful disease known as Lupus as well as some other dumb diseases, I can no longer work. And yes, that suckx big time!!
Read on.....
Now, a little about my disease!! NO IT IS NOT CONTAGIOUS DUMB A**!!! SLE (lupus) is a "chronic (lifelong) and potentially fatal autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and tissue damage to virtually every organ system in the body. In people with lupus, the immune system loses its ability to distinguish between foreign substances, called antigens, and the body's own cells and tissue. The immune system then makes proteins, called antibodies, that are directed against itself which causes inflammation. Lupus has no known cause, and, as a result, NO KNOWN CURE. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the skin, joints, blood and blood vessels, heart, lungs, kidneys and brain. Women with lupus have a five- to ten-fold increased risk of coronary heart disease, between 30-50% of people with lupus will develop nephritis, or kidney disease, people with lupus are at great risk for blood clots, strokes and seizures. Unfortunately, the current treatments (for symptoms) available may cause other health problems that, in many patients, can be worse than the primary disease itself. THERE HAS BEEN NO NEW DRUG APPROVED BY THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) SPECIFICALLY FOR LUPUS IN NEARLY 40 YEARS!! Please go to www.lupus.org, for more information
