About Lupus.

Salam to all.

Walking back from fetching the kids from school, it's clearly seen that autunm is here. The scenery of lines of trees beside the road proof it all. Meanwhile the ground is layered by dry and composed leaves. Strong wind comes again and again to help dry leaves fall from the trees. Pouring days and people with raincoat and welly boots walking much more quicker to avoid from soaking wet. Weather turns to chilly days at about 4C. Next is, waiting for winter to come.

In this entry I'd like to share (again) what is actulally Lupus (SLE). Many more friends come to me to have a clear explanation. Yess. it's quite hard to understand..if that what they want. Well, basically you don't really need to go into it that hard :)

Ok, I'll make it in easy words.

Lupus is just a chronic illness where by there is an autoimmune activity in the patients body. As we know, antibody faunctions to protect the body cell from invader, but, unfortunately, people with Lupus develope antibody which also damage the body cell. We call it, bad antibody. Due to this autoimmune activity, it would affect important inner organs such as liver, kidney, lung and brain.
At the moment, Lupus has nothing relates to the food intake or genetic or virus/bacteria. Thus it is not a contagious disease. It also known that, researchers are still in progress to find the causes of Lupus. and they are also working hard to explore more about Lupus including how to cure people with Lupus.

Anyway, people living with Lupus can have a quality life as others. Any ups and downs in life dont really differ and as matter as fact, Lupus patients are living under same sky without nobody notice that they have chronic illness. Most importantly, whatever they call these people, feeling and emotion are still in order and functioning perfectly as normal people.

I am writing this because any misunderstanding issue related to this illness could bring to social problems between the patients and public. If some people classified Lupus patients as 'disabled people', so how about someone who cannot speak English aor Malay properly?? They are also can be called ''diasbled people''...

That's all for now..see you soon. very2 soon. take care.
