The Two Types of Lupus

There are two types of lupus: 
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE)- DLE mainly affects the skin that is exposed to sunlight and doesn’t typically affect vital internal organs. Discoid (circular) skin lesions often leave scars after healing of the lesions. 

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)- SLE is more serious: It affects the skin and other vital organs, and can cause a raised, scaly, butterfly-shaped rash across the bridge of the nose and cheeks that can leave scars if untreated. SLE can also affect other parts of the skin elsewhere on the body. SLE can cause kidney disease. Brain involvement is rare, but for some, lupus can cause confusion, depression, seizures and strokes.

The disease may also inflame and/or damage the connective tissue in the joints, muscles, and skin, along with the membranes surrounding or within the lungs, heart, kidneys and brain. Blood vessels may come under attack with systemic lupus. This can cause sores to develop on the skin, especially the fingers.  
Some lupus patients get Raynaud's syndrome, which makes the small blood vessels in the skin contract, preventing blood from getting to the hands and feet -- especially in response to cold. Most attacks last only a few minutes, can be painful, and often turn the hands and feet white or a bluish color.

  1. Hello I know a man who treats with herbs for pemphigus vulgaris and other Diagnosed diseases like HPV warts & HSV. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and decided to try Dr Steven herbs which's in Africa but I got the herbs delivered to me in about 4 days in Montreal, CANADA. I took the herbs for almost 2 weeks daily and after a week I finished the herbs. I did not feel any symptoms on my Skin and Genital symptoms. I did a test in Montreal where the result came in a week and I was negative from pemphigus vulgaris & HSV 2. I just want you to also try it and see for yourself because others think there's no cure but I'm convinced now that herbs can cure pemphigus vulgaris or HPV with DR Steven root mixtures & black seed herbs. The reason I talked about HPv is because my friend we work together had HPV and warts and took the herbs recently and now he's cured with no warts anymore and a negative result for HPV. I recommend Dr Steven to him too. Now I want to recommend others to him and you can text him Whats app in his number easily and he will show you everything you need to know. Contact info   ( +2349153279879 Whats app )    I'm looking forward to your reply after using the Herbs. My name is Timmy Funell
