Having lupus can make everyday life challenging. When your lupus is active, symptoms like joint stiffness, pain, fatigue, confusion, or depression can make simple tasks difficult — and sometimes impossible. Since these symptoms aren't visible, the people around you may have trouble understanding how you feel. May was Lupus Awareness Month, so if like most out there you had never heard of it please help by spreading the word. What is Lupus ? Lupus, a chronic inflammatory disease, occurs when an individual’s immune system attacks its tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, body cells, brain, heart and lungs. The inflammatory disease may be difficult to diagnose as symptoms sometimes mimic signs of other ailments and diseases.
