Welcome to the Lupus Alliance of America, Michigan Indiana Affiliate.

This website is presented to provide you with information and resources to help you better understand and manage lupus.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage, and if not treated can become life threatening. In simple terms, lupus develops when the body becomes "allergic to itself." There is no cure for lupus. Lupus affects adult women 10 times more frequently than men. Lupus is more prevalent than sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis combined, yet it is the least known of all major diseases.
