Lady Gaga

So Lady Gaga may have lupus. Apparantly she has been tested for it and lupus complications were the cause of her Aunt's death. I hope for her sake she does not, but hopefully this will provide some much needed exposure for the disease.

One thought on the situation, she states that she has not announced the results because she does not want her fans to be worried.

While this is obviously a very private matter one can only hope that if she does indeed have lupus that Gaga steps up to the plate for all the PALs (People Affected by Lupus) out there and helps put a public face a misunderstood disease.
