Week One
Lupus is a disease that causes your own body to attack itself, this is also known as an autoimmune disease. So far our group has met only a couple times and together we decided on lupus because of how fascinating it is. We chose lupus because it is one of the more common autoimmune diseases and we wanted a disease that has a lot of information and that is easy to research. Lupus can affect both men and women but it is more common in women. The symptoms for lupus can range from not so serious at all to severe. So far we have just started the very early stages of research. We have found that although there is treatment for lupus, there is no cure. We want to find out what organizations are researching and trying to develop a cure for lupus. Once we find this information we can begin thinking about how we can positively affect the lupus community.
