Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can "affect people in different ways," Gomez said.

Autoimmune diseases are a class of diseases that present a huge challenge to sufferers because they take them to a stage where their bodies begin to self-destruct. Their immunity system attacks what it normally protects and hence damages certain parts of the body, like the skin or joints, or in some cases, even the entire body. One such disease, Lupus, has recently gained a lot of public attention after the pop-singer Selena Gomez underwent treatment for the disease. It is a very serious condition and is the kind of auto-immune disease which affects the whole body, attacking normal healthy tissue, including that of the blood, heart, kidneys and lungs.

How Lupus damages the Immune System?

Lupus takes away the immune system’s ability to distinguish between harmful foreign substances and healthy body parts. Antibodies are normally produced as a response to an attack on the body and protect it from any possible danger. But an immune system affected by Lupus produces antibodies that are designed to attack healthy body tissue. Lupus can be quite difficult to diagnose because its symptoms coincide with many other ailments. These signs and symptoms range from swelling and pain in various parts of the body to fatigue and fever. Although the exact cause is unknown, it is believed that genetics determine one’s tendency to develop Lupus, which can potentially be triggered by sunlight, infections or certain types of medication. The complications that accompany Lupus range from mild to life-threatening as they affect vital organs of the body. Kidney damage/failure, brain damage resulting in dizziness and headaches, inflammation of heart muscles, and blood problems such as anemia and blood clotting are just a few of the possible complications.

Many combinations of medications, diets and exercise are suggested to Lupus patients to help them feel better. If you or someone you know has been affected by Lupus, you probably know how hard it
