When you don't want to let the sun shine in....
Got this from a fibromyalgia Facebook page. Thought it was interesting:
Why Sunlight Affects the Skin of People with Lupus
While I don't have lupus, I do have primary Sjogren's syndrome, which is in the same family and looks very similar to lupus. I get the butterfly rash and the photo-sensitivity. In Colorado, where the elevation makes one much closer to the sun than those at sea level, I sometimes get a raised rash just from riding in the car on a bright day.

Have you seen any other information about the research done on this protein involved in cellular death that is being linked autoimmune disorders such as arthritis Sjogren’s and Lupus?
