Many people have asked me what Lupus is. For those of you who know who Salena Gone is or Sarah Hyland may have heard of their kidney transplant. Those were due to lupus. It is autoimmune and attacks your connective tissue. The most concerning place this happens is the kidneys. It was the kidney test that really set off the current alarms. We're still testing and trying this lupus treatment before there is any final decision on the diagnosis, but we're moving closer to a specific diagnosis (my current diagnosis is undifferentiated mixed connective tissue disease which means it's missing a few things to be lupus, but is very similar. Lupus is more dangerous than undifferentiated which is why the diagnosis is hard to pin down and is the focus of all of the testing).
More to follow soon.... I hope!
