This week on The Infinite Mind, the stories are relentlessly similar: a woman travels from doctor to doctor complaining of aches and pains, confusion and depression, and is told repeatedly that there’s nothing wrong with her. But there’s something seriously wrong. It’s lupus, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the body’s soft tissue and can dramatically affect the brain and behavior as well. Guest host Dr. Fred Goodwin explores a disease known as “The Great Pretender” for a baffling host of symptoms that make accurate and timely diagnosis difficult. Lupus, in fact, is one of many autoimmune disorders including MS and rheumatoid arthritis that affect more than 8.5 million people – predominantly women -- in the United States.
