Lupus&nbsp;it is caused by the body's immune system which normally protects us by fighting infections, to attack&nbsp;the&nbsp;body tissues which causes inflammation in those tissues. This means that people with Lupus will have different symptons, depending on which part of the body is being attacked.Joints can be very painful, skin sensitive, severe tiredness,&nbsp;poor circulation&nbsp;and&nbsp;internal organs such as the heart and kidneys&nbsp;effected are some of the symptons of Lupus.<br />For more information visit <a href="http://www.lupusuk.org.uk/">http://www.lupusuk.org.uk/</a></p>
