Lupus is an autoimmune
(aw-toe-ih-myoon) disease. Your body’s
immune system is like an army with
hundreds of soldiers. The immune
system’s job is to fight foreign
substances in the body, like germs and
viruses. But in autoimmune diseases, the
immune system is out of control. It
attacks healthy tissues, not germs.
You can’t catch lupus from another
person. It isn’t cancer, and it
isn’t related to aids.

But It's Similiar to Cancer And Aids Right? Posted: 01-11-06 00:00am
Ok, this is all new to me and I found your
entry informative, thanks. I have
wondered why they have treated lupus with
cancer like meds and our symptoms are much
like aids. Can lupus turn into cancer?
Can lupus easily be something else? Is it
easily misdiagnosed?
