My skin analysis shows I have a form of Lupus that attacks the tissues of skin on my face. This is bad news of course for what it could mean, not what it currently means. For those who don't know, Lupus is a disease where the immune system attacks a part of the body as a threat primarily causing inflammation. In my case, it's the small parts of skin on my face.
There are diferent types of Lupus, the more serious being systemic Lupus. This type can attack organs like the heart or brain causing serious illness and in some cases death. As of now, there is no indication that I have developed or will develop the much more serious form of Lupus, but it remains a possibility that I must take into consideration.
Otherwise, my bloodwork looked and I feel great. I'll keep posted of any new developments.
