May 4- Lupus Fact
Lupus affects women more than men. 9 out of 10 people who develop lupus are women. Estrogen is believed to encourage the development of autoimmune disorders.
The exact reason why lupus is more frequently seen in women is not fully understood by medical professionals. However, it is believed that variances in genes and hormones, which act as communication agents between the brain and body, could be significant factors. Research on animals indicates that estrogen may contribute to the onset and increased severity of lupus.
This is your fourth Butterfly of Hope.
We need awareness! We need a cure!
Encourage everyone you know to let it FLY!
