Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can cause joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, as well as damage to various organs, including the skin, kidneys, and heart. In people with lupus, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.
Lupus is a complex and poorly understood disease, with no known cure. Treatment typically involves medications to manage symptoms, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive medications. Lifestyle modifications, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, can also help manage lupus symptoms and improve overall well-being. (8)
