The Infinite Mind/LCMedia Online Store : CDs/Transcripts of award-winning public radio show : Lupus: The Great Pretender

This week on The Infinite Mind, a woman travels from doctor to doctor complaining of aches and pains, confusion and depression, and is told repeatedly that there’s nothing wrong with her. But there’s something seriously wrong. It’s Lupus, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the body’s soft tissue and can dramatically affect the brain and behavior as well. Guest host Dr. Fred Goodwin explores a disease known as “The Great Pretender,” a disease with an array of baffling symptoms that make accurate and timely diagnosis difficult. Lupus is one of many autoimmune disorders including Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid arthritis which affect more than 8.5 million people in the United States.
