Question: My sister has Lupus. and it is affecting her eyes. Now they are saying she has something else that will eventually affect all of her organs. She won't tell me what it is other than it starts with an S. Do you have any idea what this disease could be?

Brief Answer:
scleroderma?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

lupus sometimes overlaps with scleroderma, which is another autoimmune disease that affects the whole body. Perhaps this is it? If you provide some test results and clinical information (like her current problems) it could help me more.

Kind Regards!
