		<description>LISTEN -- this Trick Daddy guy ONLY 
has the &quot;discoid&quot; (&#039;mild&#039;) form of lupus.

The &quot;Discoid&quot; form of LUPUS 
is only the &#039;mild&#039; form and 
it is NOT &quot;life threatening&quot;.

It is the SLE form of LUPUS 
(and NOT the &quot;discoid&quot; or mild 
form of it) THAT KILLS people!!!

Lupus ONLY spreads to and affects the 
internal organs IF it is the SLE form (and
the &quot;discoid&quot; form only bothers the skin)

Trick Daddy is a crybaby and a liar!

He does NOT have the SLE Lupus -- 
and thus, his chances of &#039;dying from 
Lupus&#039; are essentially little to none.

Contact the Lupus Foundation of America
and they will tell you that the risk of 
&#039;dying&#039; from &quot;discoid&quot; (mild) lupus is 
little to none (as opposed to SLE -- 
which is the form of Lupus that kills)

If he spends his time whining and looking 
for sympathy for &quot;discoid&quot; lupus (a form
of lupus that is so &#039;mild&#039; that the Lupus
Foundation of America almost had it 
removed as being a true form of &quot;lupus&quot;)
he could NOT handle having &quot;real&quot; Lupus
(which is the life threatening SLE form)
for even one day or one second !!!

Admittedly -- &quot;discoid&quot; Lupus can (and often 
does) leave people badly scarred and with 
very damaged skin (as noted with singers 
&#039;Seal&#039; and &#039;Michael Jackson&#039;) BUT it is NOT
viewed as being a &quot;life threatening&quot; form of
the disease -- it&#039;s seen as being a &#039;mild&#039; form.

People with SLE-Lupus suffer from BOTH
scarred/damaged/inflamed skin AND
also from life-threatening organ damage.

How dare this guy whine about having 
&quot;lupus&quot; -- when the form he has is the
kind that is so &#039;mild&#039; (discoid) that 
it only affects how his skin looks.

Instead of &#039;playing the victim&#039; and
&#039;misleading the public&#039; into thinking
that he has the &quot;life threatening&quot; form
(the SLE form) of Lupus -- he would 
better serve Lupus suffererers and 
survivors by telling the truth about
BOTH the disease AND the fact
that he has the mildest and the 
most easily-handled form of it
-- as well as work to get funds
to help find a cure for it.

Having almost died several times from the
real form of Lupus (SLE) -- I tend to have
very little sympathy for people like this 
guy who want public pity due to their 
mere skin-irritations and who exploit 
public ignorance of &quot;true&quot; Lupus by 
trying to pretend that they (like those 
of us who have &quot;real&quot; Lupus, SLE 
and are trying to survive it) are also 
&quot;dying from it&quot; (when they are not).</description>
