Greetings,
     I am writing to ask if anyone knows the effects Lupus and Breastfeeding
would have on a mother.  I talked with a mom who has tested positive for Lupus,
but does not have an advanced case.  Her major symptoms are achy joints and hair
loss (large clumps). She is nursing a twenty month old and wanted to know if
weaning the baby might stop or reduce the hair loss.  I would great appreciate
any input.
                                             Thanks in advance,
