What is Lupus?

Beach with sea coming in and the Word Lupus

Being the person I am I just had to know more about my possible risk of this skin condition being Lupus. So I researched and read and found out as much as I could. 


I went for the blood test and I told my Doctor I was worried about maybe having Lupus. 

He was reassuring and said it was unlikely in my case as I was not exhibiting several of the main symptoms...but a simple blood test would help us to confirm or not.

He gave me a brief summary of what the condition of Lupus is and what it means anyway.

So the links below are the ones I found most useful for discovering about Lupus and help available.
