10. Long-Term Outlook
The innovations made in the diagnosis and treatment of lupus have helped to extend the life span of people with this condition. In fact, about 90 percent of lupus patients live a full life.
Most cases do not even have flare-ups or suffer from severe symptoms in their lives when they follow the guidelines. Lupus can cause severe damages to a person’s health. However, taking medications and focusing on what is appropriate for the condition helps patients live longer without any major alterations in their quality of life. Finding support groups and reading about people with lupus will raise your spirit and help you to fight for your life.
