Lupus

Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease which causes inflammation of various parts of the body especially the skin, joints, blood and kidneys.

The body's immune system normally makes proteins called antibodies to protect the body against viruses, bacteria and other foreign materials.

In an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies directed against "self."

The immune complexes build up in the tissues and can cause inflammation, injury to tissues, and pain.

The cause of lupus is unknown, but environmental and genetic factors are involved.

Some of the environmental factors that may trigger the disease are:

Although lupus is known to occur within families, there is no known gene or genes which are thought to cause the illness.

Exercising with Lupus

Most people with lupus are capable of some sort of exercise to increase aerobic capacity of cells and improve immune function. Exercise can build and maintain muscle tone, support and stabilize joints, reduce fatigue, & maintain or increase mobility.

Many factors are involved in determining how often you should exercise & what exercises you should do.
