. . but you don't look ill - Cheerful support for those with hidden illnesses

 

 

Lupus is an incurable illness where the immune system produces far too many antibodies which, circulating through the bloodstream, cause reactions leading to inflammatory processes anywhere in the body. The two major symptoms are joint and muscle pain and an extreme tiredness that won't go away no matter how much you rest. Rashes, depression, anaemia, feverishness, headaches, possible hair loss and mouth ulcers can also occur.
