A woman who spent 20 years in a catatonic state woke up after doctors treated her lupus - and her case could hold key to curing others of psychosis

There may be some hope of putting the Biden on trial after all

All this because the husband finally put the toilet seat down...

My grandfather had lupus. Took them forever to figure out because "men don't get lupus". Uhhhh yeah, they do.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The cause is not fully understood, but a viral infection (very likely), some medications (Could be), sunlight (doubtful), puberty and menopause are all thought to be possible causes.

When a sixty year old man gets it you can pretty much rule out puberty and menopause.

At least, back in the days when doctors were sane you could.

Studying accounting will do that

I have 2 girl friends that have lupus & they take hydroxychloroquine.

[alternatives?]

Had a relative with lupus and takes hydroxychloroquine and all the patients and staff in her long tern mental ward caught Covid except her.

Actually she heard Joe Biden was President and the shock snapped her right out of it.

“Actually she heard Joe Biden was President and the shock snapped her right out of it.”

Hell, she probably voted for him.

Amazing. This article gives the impression that the woman's lupus was cured, but the disease is still incurable. However, modern treatments can help a lot, as this case demonstrates.

I'm a little surprised that lupus has still not been cured. Forty years ago the disease was a hot study subject for plenty of smart, motivated medical/biology graduate students who were going to find that cure and establish their professional credentials. I'm sure they pushed hard, but SLE has pushed back harder. So far.

Same for my friend! Arthritis and takes HCQ, but never got CoVid. One of the few I know who never got it.

It was probably the mandatory statistics courses. ;-)

It's never lupus

I understand the sentiment, but "never" is not quite right.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Same with my 75 year old female cousin. She’s been on HCQ for decades.

I have lupus & this is a mind blowing story. That’s an absolute myth that men don’t get lupus. When I first got very sick they thought I might have the black plague & they isolated me. It was a small town. It’s a crazy disease because it mimics so many other things.

[Larry Lucido]

That could have done it!
