Do you know what lupus is? According to the Lupus Foundation of America, 63% of Americans have never heard of lupus or know very little about the disease. “Lupus is a chronic disease that causes systemic inflammation in multiple parts of the body, most commonly affecting the skin, joints, and internal organs such as the kidneys,” says Nida Momin, MD, a rheumatologist with Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. “Lupus symptoms can vary between patients and that is why it’s important to discuss medical symptoms with your healthcare provider.” #LupusAwareness #AutoimmuneDisease #Lupus #Health #Houston

Living with lupus can be a challenge, but the good news is that, with the proper healthcare guidance, you can still live a full life through effective management. Lupus is a rheumatic condition, which means that it is an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune disorders, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, perceiving them as foreign invaders. This can cause painful inflammation, and the ongoing battle within the body can result in various symptoms ranging from manageable to life-threatening. The unpredictability of lupus is one of its defining characteristics, as symptoms can appear, disappear, and change over time. Curious to know the root of your symptoms?
