💡Video Key Takeaways
1. Although we cannot prevent lupus today, there is ongoing research into uncovering strategies that would lead to earlier diagnosis and prevention in the years to come.
2. Prevention in medicine involves identifying problems, developing reliable diagnostic methods, pinpointing at-risk individuals, and finding interventions.
3. Lupus is a complex autoimmune disease that can affect various organs and systems in the body, characterized by an overactive immune system.
4. Identifying at-risk individuals involves factors like genetics, family history, hormonal imbalances, viral infections, and UV light exposure.
5. While there's still progress to be made, adopting a healthy lifestyle including diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep can support overall immune health and potentially reduce the risk of developing lupus or other autoimmune conditions.

The research currently being conducted is really exciting! Although those of us diagnosed currently might not benefit from it, it really makes me happy future warriors might not have to jump through the hoops we did to find treatment. Dr. Ortiz, thank you for continuing to provide our community valuable information.
what is stage 1 and stage 2 lupus, never heard of it and I've been diagnosed 15 years.
One of the signs for GPs is that the patient has many appointments for a wide variety of sometimes weird symptoms. In this situation think lupus.
Patients please ask for your numbers. A positive ANA is almost meaningless. ANA titre is 1 :40, 1:80, 1:160, 1:320, 1:640, 1:1280, the higher the number the more positive your ANA.
Lung cancer is tricky since recently many young non smokers are getting it. I believe they are researching why that is. I wish we had more accurate testing and diagnosing
Thank you Dr.Ortiz for your insightful information and proactive health habits.
Thank you, this was helpful as I am one of those patients you mentioned and still trying to get a diagnosis and have a family history of lupus and still not showing on my lab but positive ana and told most people have that. So I will try your recommendations of healthier habits.
I am so happy you are doing new videos. All the videos have help me so much. I am the lady that did your painting of your logo. Keep up the great work. Maria Olivera
Still waiting for firm diagnosis since 2014,... Maybe this year,...it will help with treatment when in a flare
Never give up hope. It took 42 years for me to get a DX of Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.
Your videos are so helpful!
I've had a positive ana, anti-dsDNA, SSA Ro and high Sed rate for probably a year but still kind of in Limbo
Same
I am not sure what you mean by stage 1 and stage 2 lupus?
What if you have had most of the symptoms all your life, you've cleaned up your diet (avoiding everything that triggers inflammation for you personally, avoiding processed foods etc, your sleep schedule is in check, you're going to your primary care doc every 6 months but symptoms don't show up all at once at the clinic AND you're not making enough antibodies to test positive? Does that mean there's no way you can have lupus? Or possibly that you're effectively keeping it from worsening?
I have MS.and Lupus,
Thank you WASNT able to find you
Are they doing this research for other autoimmune conditions like RA too? Or are they mostly focusing on Lupus?
What if you don’t have a positive ANA but have all the other symptoms. I’ve been diagnosed with AS but I’m still worried I have Lupus too.
What blood testes can we take? I would like to ask my doctor to do one. Thank you
Can you create a video that discusses negative ANA but high dsDNA?
Usually if someone has Lupus then we most likely have ms.cause it goes with it,
