The physical symptoms are not the only frightening thing about this terrible autoimmune disease. Sometimes not knowing what is wrong with you is often the worst part. Going to the doctors before a proper diagnosis and having them tell you that there is “nothing wrong with you” only adds to the stress. Because of the many different symptoms, lupus is hard to diagnose and is often referred to as “the disease with a 1000 faces”. Most lupus sufferers have systemic lupus erythematosus. Systemic lupus erythematosis or SLE can affect the joints, skin, lungs, heart, blood, kidney, or nervous system, and any other organ in the body. Lupus symptoms include the following: swollen joints, extreme fatigue, skin rashes, pain in the chest (pleurisy), sun sensitivity and hair loss. Generally these symptoms will show up at different times in different people, making it hard for doctors to diagnose. Lupus symptoms will also flare up and go into remission, making it an unpredictable disease. Low HGH (Human Growth Hormone) can lead to autoimmune illnesses such as Lupus, and SLE.
