What is lupus?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, lupus is “an autoimmune disease that causes your immune system to destroy organs and tissues throughout the body. It causes inflammation that can affect the skin, joints, blood, and organs such as the kidneys, lungs, and heart. Your health care provider will help you find medications to manage your symptoms and reduce the number of times you have attacks.”
