"For five years, I was exhausted, feverish and sick. The doctors said it was stress. I knew it was more." (insights into the disease lupus and its effect on the lives of sufferers)

An indicator for the disease is the antinuclear antibody levels in the blood, that may not be detected in the early stages of the disease.
