I was diagnose with systemic lupus about 7 or 8 months ago and lately I have been having a lot of flare ups due to this illness. I have been in a wheel chair for about 1-week now because of the serious pain that I have in my knees and hip,can a person that has this illness cause them to be in a wheel chair. It hurts so much in my joints and I have been crying so much because of the pain and I feel as though my family dosen't understand the agony that I go thru. can you please help me with these questions.

Thank you
