Lupus (SLE)

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissues throughout the body, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, heart, and lungs. Functional medicine identifies and addresses the triggers that activate the immune system and works to modulate immune function.

Common symptoms

• Butterfly-shaped facial rash
• Extreme fatigue and weakness
• Joint pain and swelling
• Photosensitivity (sun sensitivity)
• Fever and flu-like symptoms
• Kidney problems
• Chest pain and shortness of breath
• Headaches and cognitive dysfunction
• Hair loss
• Raynaud's phenomenon (fingers turning white/blue in cold)
