Okay. So lupus is an autoimmune disease that generally affects women 10 times more than men. So you're correct there. And like with rheumatoid arthritis that primarily involves the joints, you can get joint involvement with lupus, but generally speaking, you have other organ systems involved, such as the skin. The lining of the lungs, the lining of the heart. So you have multiple symptoms.
