Is it a rash or a wolf bite? Apparently ancient physicians couldn’t tell…or at least they thought that the classic rash across the faces of patients with the commonly known condition Lupus, looked close enough to a wolf’s bite to name it after the Latin word for wolf! We’ll be discussing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, or Lupus, on this episode, including some history and common symptoms that feel a little random and are what make Lupus so hard to diagnose. Then we’ll talk about its prevalence in women and some interesting theories on why its so common in women over men!
