The Effects of Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can impact any organ in the body, leading to a wide range of serious health issues. Recent data shows that around 1.5 million Americans are currently living with lupus, with approximately 16,000 new cases diagnosed each year. The disease presents significant challenges for many, often making it hard for them to maintain employment due to its considerable effects on their health.
Allsup's Support
