Sing a song of lupus,
    You're bleeding out your nose,
    Your eyes are dry and crusty,
    Your diarrhea's gross.

    Your fingers hurt like heck,
    and your back hurts even worse,
    Your mind is gone,
    The list goes on,
    New symptoms every verse!

Often, teachers must work hard to get young
writers not to start every story sentence like:

"And then we went...  And then we saw the...
And then we rode... And then it was time to..."

But, lupus truly is an "And then..." experience:
Waiting around every corner is one lovely little
surprise after another.   

At least life never gets boring!

    Sing a song of lupus,
    Your hair is falling out,
    Your skin looks like a leper,
    Your seizures make you shout.

    Your kidneys bleed like stuck pigs,
    You pee right on the floor,
    You feel depressed,
    It's worse with stress,
    You can't take any more!

The Autocidal Adventure
This entire site is wheelchair -accessible.
This site offers a feel-good look at a feel-bad topic,  systemic
lupus, via an interactive journey through one woman's lupus
encounters.   You'll laugh, you'll cry.  Better than Pagliacci (well,
better English, anyway).  Truly subtle humor, brilliant insights, and
shocking revelations.  (Uh...sorta.)  Includes at least one odd little
paragraph added solely to satisfy agents that don't recognize the
topic unless lupus and humor are explicitly mentioned on the
home page.  We also consider this site pertinent to other invisible
disease sufferers, so it really contains autoimmune humor.
