What is the biggest problem with SLE?
Symptoms of SLE may mimic the symptoms of other diseases. The main problem is that damage to the kidneys or bone marrow can go undetected until the later stages.
Why do doctors find it hard to diagnose SLE?
In the early stages of SLE, there may be only one or two visible symptoms causing the disease to be diagnosed after many weeks, months, or even years.
Why do some patients suffer only mild effects of SLE while for other patients, it could be so bad that it becomes fatal?
No one knows. Some patients produce antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in their blood. There are many types of ANA, some attack the kidneys and brain. However, whether their condition is serious or not, it is important for patients to obey their doctor and especially during flares. It is also possible that patients with milder symptoms may suffer more serious symptoms later.
Is there a cure for Lupus?
Presently, Lupus can only be controlled, not cured. Treatment varies depending on the patient. Patients with milder symptoms like joint pain, rashes, fever and fatigue require different treatment compared with patients with more serious conditions. We are glad that there are more treatment options now than there were 20 years ago.
What does remission in Lupus mean?
This means there are no more flares and only minimal treatment is needed.
My spouse is 67 years old and has been suffering from SLE Lupus disease for the past 4years. Lately her condition started hallucinating and I did not know how to handle the situation. She could not sleep and tried to find and catch the imaginary people who she thinks are real, she had face rash, joint stiffness for several years and was gradually becoming worse before we found Lupus herbal supplement from www madibaherbalcenter. com that was able to get rid of her SLE/Lupus disease and alleviate all symptoms within the short period of her 3 months of using the herbal remedy.
