I have a friend who was recently diagnosed as having "moderate Lupus".
I know very little about the disease and would like some information.
Is there someone who can give me a short summary of what it is,
symptoms, prognosis, diagnosis, etc.  I have MS so I do know about
autoimmune diseases.  Also, is there an organization that provides
literature on the disease, current research trends, etc.  The MS
society, for example, provides excellent literature.

All information will be appreciated!!!!!
