'An incurable form of athritis'

I guess they are dumming down, but its a stupid way to describe it.

You should write and tell them off - I would!

Can't believe they said that, it's so wholely inaccurate, don't they have researchers for that kind of thing? Yes it's auto-immune, but the effects are so much more far-reaching.

Grrrr too.

And yes, if they had ever watched House, they would know that virtually anything could be lupus (although on House it never is). I was once observing a hospital MDT meeting and one of the consultants uttered the immortal 'it could be lupus'. I felt like I was actually in House!

D

Wow, that simple eh... and there was me thinking it was so much more

but I wasn't aware that there was a cure for any form of arthritis...

I did think think that too Roo... 'Here, have a pill, woo, your athritis is cured!' ?

Delia, I believe even the cleaner suggested lupus in an episode of house. ?

I should write in really, I need to become more militant!

Sorry but I have to disagree strongly.

As we all know in House, sarcoidosis is always suggested as the cause of any illness ?

Ar but lupus pernio is a feature of sarcoidosis ?

closely followed by syphillis.

Or a cheekly little subacute sclerosing panencephalitis??

It must be so frustrating for you Mrs M when it's grossly oversimplified like that. You should direct them to some correct information.

<aside- I saw your facebook msg but can only get fb on blackberry at the mo, and mine is in getting fixed. will respond later, but in short, yes yes yes!! xxx>

That's so bad that they were so far off the mark.

Oh and talking of House, I nearly spat out my drink when I saw the mention of sarcoidosis!

I think I will write in, even if it's just so they know if it's mentioned in future programmes.

Yay Lou! ?
