Lupus is a chronic, incurable, potentially fatal auto-immune disease that affects over 5 million world-wide. Lupus symptoms can virtually cover the entire medical journal primarily attacking the joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, blood vessels and nervous system with no 'two' lupus patients alike. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with periods of illness known as 'FLARES' and symptom-free periods as 'REMISSION'. Lupus is also known as the 'Great Imitator' as it often mimics or is mistaken for other conditions such as Strokes (Aneurysm), Heart Attacks, Arthritis, Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, Meningitis, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Myelitis, Nephritis, Serositis, Pleurisy, Lyme's Disease and even Depression, making it one of the most dangerous and baffling diseases around. Unfortunately, medical knowledge with the severe form of lupus is extremely lacking, especially with central nervous system (brain & spine). Many will die without even knowing and the lucky ones will spend a life time juggling the condition, with most likely a few hospital admissions.
