Quotes: "Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin,
joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to
last longer than six weeks and often for many years.""In lupus, something goes wrong with
your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs
("foreign invaders," like the flu). Normally our immune system produces proteins called
antibodies that protect the body from these invaders. Autoimmune means your immune
system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your bodys healthy
tissues ("auto" means "self") and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy
tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the
body."
