Lupus -
What happens when you know your child is sick, but
no one can tell you what's wrong...sometimes for
years? Lupus, a debilitating disease,
is still a
medical mystery. Join Dr. Winnie King as we attempt
to unravel this mystery on a full-show episode of
Keeping Kids Healthy. Without a single known cause,
no simple test for diagnosis and symptoms so vague
and so varied, Lupus can often elude the doctors
trying to detect it. But learning about Lupus is
actually the first step in detecting it. You'll hear
from a young woman who lived with Lupus since she
was 14 but wasn't diagnosed until 22; a 13 year old
who was only diagnosed last year; hear the story of
how one mother refused to give up until her
daughter's condition was diagnosed and hear a Lupus
expert discuss symptoms, treatments, care and the
latest news on medical advances in Lupus research.
