Note From Me:
I'm sorry that I have not been able to keep the site updated as frequently as I would like.  I am a senior in college now, and this week is Spring Break.  So I will be updating the site since I have some time now.  I hope that the changes will help.

SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
This page is also available in:    Español,    Deutsch,    Français,    Italiano,    Portuguese    (Thanks to Google!)

More people have lupus than AIDS, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia and cystic fibrosis combined.  LFA (Lupus Foundation of America) market research data shows that, (as of 1994), between 1,400,000 and 2,000,000 people reported to have been diagnosed with lupus.  Lupus can be mild or it can be life-threatening, causing serious problems.  I hope this information will be helpful.
