Lupus is an autoimmune disease most commonly suffered from by women, and many women in the CA workplace suffer from lupus. With lupus, the immune system attacks its tissues, causing inflammation, swelling, pain, and damage. Symptoms vary, but early lupus symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, fever, and a lupus rash, which can occur after being in the sun. If you suffer from lupus, and it is a recognized medical disability, do not let your employer you’re your disease as an excuse to discriminate against you.

Over the years, diagnosis and treatment of lupus has improved considerably. With treatment, most people with lupus can lead active lives. Your employer needs to provide you with reasonable accommodations for your medical disability, including time off for doctor’s appointments.
