Reclaim Your Life with Lupus Management

Lupus can be a complex and unpredictable disease, but with the right care and support, you can live a full and active life. 

Understanding Lupus

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs in the body. It happens when the immune system attacks its tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. While the exact cause is unknown, factors like genetics, hormones, and environmental triggers may play a role.

Symptoms of Lupus

Lupus symptoms can vary widely from person to person and may come and go. Common symptoms include:

  • Extreme fatigue
  • Joint pain and swelling
  • Butterfly-shaped rash across the face
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Fever
  • Hair loss
  • Mouth sores
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest pain
  • Headaches
  • Blood disorders

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosing Lupus can be complex as symptoms often mimic other conditions. Our rheumatologists will conduct a thorough evaluation, including blood tests, urinalysis, and imaging studies. Treatment for Lupus focuses on managing symptoms and preventing flare-ups. Options may include:

  • Medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system
  • Lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding sunlight and managing stress
  • Physical therapy to help with joint pain and stiffness

Coping with a chronic condition like Lupus requires patience and self-care. Our Dr.Virk provides comprehensive support to help you navigate the challenges of living with Lupus.
