My mother is a very strong person, one time she was asked by the hospital Doctor what her pain was on a scale of one to ten and she said an eight. The Doc told her that she was a tough woman because that pain should have been a ten. Right now my mother is fighting with a disease that causes the body to attack its self, she is going through chemo treatment and I can attment it I am scare that she is going to Die. She doesn't like to say it, but I now she is dying I have that gut feeling that I have always been scare of and it wont go away no matter what I do. So besides water polo and Swimming this is my life and I have to deal with it.
On May 1st, 2015 I found out that my cousin Hannah (who has Nerofibromiosis) has Cancer and this news has devistated me. Hannah is only 16 years old, already has to deal with tummers, and now she has to go through all of this cancer stuff. She is my best friend and I wish I could take her place because I don't know how much more she can take.
Lupus erythematosus is a name given to a collection of autoimmune diseases in which the human immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissues.[1] Symptoms of these diseases can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs.
Systemic- Fatigue in SLE is probably multifactorial and has been related to not only disease activity or complications such as anemia or hypothyroidism, but also to pain, depression, poor sleep quality, poor physical fitness and lack of social support
It is sometimes necessary for people with lupus to receive medicine in the form of infusion therapy, which involves the delivery of these medications intravenously (through the veins). Different medicines may be used, such as Cytoxan and, more recently, Rituxan.
