Lupus

Arthritis.

Scientists do not know why lupus is so predominant in women, but certainly, hormonal and genetic differences make a contribution.

Lupus rashes can appear anywhere. Some people get a malar or "butterfly" rash across the cheeks and nose. People with discoid lupus get rashes on parts of the body that are exposed to the sun. Hives and welts can occur on any part of the body. Bullous lupus causes large, fluid filled blisters that often occur on the hands and feet but can occur in other places as well. Petechaie and purpura look like a rash but are the result of blood leaking into the tissues as a result of low platelets. Panniculitis is an inflammation of fat pockets causing a deep dimpling effect.

Science has identified some genes that appear to be related to the inheritance of lupus and autoimmunity. Having these genes only predisposes the patient to the disease however, it does not mean the patient will ever get lupus.

No there is no incubation period because lupus is not contagious.

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell, part of the immune system. In people with lupus, the white cell count including eosinophils, is typically below normal.

Lupus itself does not cause the purple hands. But Raynaud's syndrome does cause it and Raynaud's often occurs in overlap with lupus. Raynaud's is an autoimmune disorder that causes the nerves that control the capillaries in the extremities to contract inappropriately when exposed to chilly temperatures or stress. http://www.raynauds.org/

Lupus does not have stages.

I have a two part answer for you. First, no Lupus can not be 'caught'. Lupus is a DISORDER (not a disease) of your friend's own autoimmune system. It's on tilt perhaps in more simple terms. Your friend may or may not even be in an active flare of her immune system, lupus tends to come and go on it's own mysterious schedule. Second, there simply is no infection to pass to anyone or to be caught fro

m a kiss. However, you may be a potential infection waiting to happen to your partner. If your friend is taking any immune suppressors to stave off a flare and you have a simple, but active, virus that would not be an issue for anyone not on such medications, she could be at risk from infection from you.

When a person become more frustrated and when any person need some relaxation he thought of having some pleasant environment... So such type of conditions make a person become nois. sensitive,

No! it is an autoimmune disease- meaning the immune system overreacts and attacts self molecules instead of foreign intruders. Like waging a war against yourself...

There is no cure for Lupus. It can only be treated. The most popular treatments are anti-inflammatories. Plaquenil and Prednisone are popular drugs used to treat Lupus. In some cases immunosupressant drugs are needed to suppress the immune system. There are two goals in the treatment of lupus. The first is to provide relief for the symptoms. The second is to prevent or minimize permanent damage. NSAIDS or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are available over the counter. Plaquenil or hydroxychloroquine (an anti-malarial) is a maintenance medication that works to prevent communication in the immune cells and thus prevent them from attacking self. Prednisone is a steroid that suppressed the entire immune system without discretion. Long term side effects include osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, diabetes, cataracts and atherosclerosis. Short term use is one of the most efficient ways to bring a flare under control. Other chemotherapy immunosuppressives may be used like methotrexate, cytoxan, azathioprine, and mycophenoloate mofetil (Cellcept). Current clinical trials on lymphostat B, a monoclonal antibody, are very promising and some are in their fifth year. However, November 20, 1958 was the last time a new medication was approved specifically for the treatment of lupus.

My doctor only recommended that I take prednisone while pregnant but this is something that you should discuss with your doctor.

Your toe will be swolen and red and it will give off pus. it will hurt when you put pressure on it. i have an infected toe right now and i am going to see a doctor. if you can't go see a doctor try soaking it in epsom salt and putting neosporin or iodex on it. if that doesn't work put a cabbage leaf on it and wrap it up with vet wrap. but i would recomend to go see a doctor before it gets to severe.

Lupus is not contagious. You cannot catch lupus through sexual activity, kissing, using the same glass or utensils or in any other way. You cannot catch lupus PERIOD.

Lupus occurs when a person who is genetically predisposed to the disease encounters triggers, either traumatically or over a long period of time.

Lupus is not contagious. Lupus cannot be transmitted from one person to another by any means.
