"Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects approximately 1.5 million people in the U.S. and millions more worldwide. The disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy tissue, leading to widespread inflammation, fatigue, joint pain, and in severe cases, organ damage. Lupus does not discriminate, but it does affect women at a much higher rate-nine out of ten individuals with lupus are female."
