Lupus

So a while back I said I would do a post about lupus and here it is! It's in purple because that's the color for lupus. So basically what lupus is is a disease that makes your body produce antibodies to kind of fight off stuff that you need, like tissue, and that causes pain and inflammation in your joints. My mom's face gets red but I guess that's really common with lupus. On Glee where Sue Sylvester can't bend over a bucket of Vamoose- that's not lupus. NOT NOT NOT NOT. The links I have are full of information, if you want to know more, check them out!

So that's all I know about lupus, thanks for reading this- spread the word about this! I'd like to dedicate this to my mom because even though she has this she's always there for us, no matter what she's going through. Love you mom! Some people might say that because she doesn't look sick she isn't, but until you've been in her body for a month, don't say anything, because until you've done that, you don't KNOW anything about what my mom goes through.
