Lupus and Allergies: What's the Connection?

As a lupus patient, I've always wondered about the connection between lupus and allergies. It turns out that lupus, an autoimmune disease, can cause an overactive immune system that may lead to increased allergies. This means that our bodies might react more strongly to allergens, making us more prone to allergic reactions. Moreover, some lupus medications can also cause or worsen allergies. It's essential for those with lupus to be aware of this connection and take necessary precautions to manage their allergies effectively.
