What is lupus and can you die from and can you live a fill life?

Lupus: S.L.E. (systemic lupus erythematosus), or lupus for short, is a sometimes fatal disease of the immune system, affecting 500,000 to a million Americans. In lupus the body’s connective tissues, which hold together and support cells, are attacked by the body’s own immune system. The prognosis for most patients has improved in recent years, with 80 to 95 percent of patients living at least 10 years after diagnosis. As yet, however, there is no known cure for lupus.

Hello, monkey22. I have lupus. I was diagnosed back in 1998. I'm on an antimalarial drug to control the lupus, which is also playing havoc with my eyesight. I'm living a full, active life, just keep taking my meds. I'm a Christian and therefore look forward to the Bible's promises to an end of suffering, sickness, pain, death and evil by means of God's kingdom in the very near future. (Psalms 37:10,11; Revelation 21:3-5; Daniel 2:44)
