Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR Medical Editor: Leslie J. Schoenfield, MD, PhD Let's start by discussing what is meant by stress. Stress means different things to different people based on their backgrounds and their current emotional and physical condition. For some people, milk spilling on the table causes a major emotional reaction. To others, a tank rolling through the living room might be viewed as just another life experience! For the purpose of this topic, I will define stress as human reactions to forces that tend to disturb our normal functional (physiologic) balance (equilibrium). Stress, in this general sense, refers to any adverse condition or state that affects our normal well-being. Such stress can be imposed on us by, for example, work, a spouse, other people, ourselves, or by setting our daily schedule too rigorously.

Extractions: People with lupus nationwide can now sign up to be notified of local clinical studies enrolling volunteers through the Lupus Foundation of America's (LFA) Center for Clinical Trials Education (CCTE). The LFA's Lupus Research Registry, through the CCTE, uses information provided by the registrants to help connect them to local clinical studies. The Lupus Research Registry is part of the LFA's ongoing efforts to advance the medicine and science of lupus and further the discovery of safe, effective, and more tolerable treatments for lupus. The LFA is committed to bringing down barriers that have impeded progress in lupus research. In recent years, the number of clinical trials for potential new lupus treatments has risen, increasing the demand for volunteers. The Lupus Research Registry provides a valuable tool for people with lupus to learn about opportunities to participate in a clinical study. The Registry also helps clinical investigators connect with potential participants for various types of studies, such as the genetic origins of lupus and new procedures used to monitor the disease and response to treatment.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage, and if not treated can become life threatening. In simple terms, lupus develops when the body becomes "allergic to itself." There is no cure for lupus. Lupus affects adult women 10 times more frequently than men. Lupus is more prevalent than sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis combined, yet it is the least known of all major diseases. Sharon's Story
