Lupus is a chronic (long-term) disease that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of your body. It’s an autoimmune disease, which means that your immune system — the body system that usually fights infections — attacks healthy tissue instead.
What are the types of lupus?
When people talk about lupus, they’re usually talking about systemic lupus. But there are four kinds of lupus:
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of lupus
- Cutaneous lupus, a form of lupus that is limited to the skin
- Drug-induced lupus, a lupus-like disease caused by certain prescription drugs
- Neonatal lupus, a rare condition that affects infants of women who have lupus

Sleep
Because fatigue affects 80–90% of people living with lupus, you probably face it, too. More sleep—and better-quality sleep—can go a long way in helping this common symptom. With many chronic illnesses and sleep issues, it can be hard to tell the cause from the effect. By improving your sleep, you may be able to manage some of your lupus symptoms. Or, by better managing some of your symptoms (such as joint pain), you may be able to get better sleep.
Medications for lupus
Because lupus can cause a lot of different health problems, there are many different kinds of medicines that can treat it.
