This causes inflammation. Although some people with lupus have only mild symptoms, the disease is lifelong and can become severe.

This is an iron that has a well to hold water and vent holes that allow steam to escape the iron and penetrate fabrics. When you're ready to begin, put the iron's setting on wool and make certain that you have water in the steam iron well. If your iron does not have a wool setting, follow these temperature guidelines for specific fabrics. If you don't have a steam iron, you can use a dry iron by wetting a clean white woven cotton towel and wringing out most of the water and use it to add moisture during ironing.
