Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks normal, healthy tissue in many parts of the body. Symptoms vary between people and may be mild to severe.
When you hear the word “rheumatism,” you may think of the aches and pains associated with arthritis. However, rheumatic diseases are much more than this.
