person A: I have a disease called Lupus.  Because I am so sick from this It causes me to lose alot of friends.  I am not able to go out and hand out like I use to because I am just to sick to get out.  It makes me lonely.
person B: That's really sad. Is there a cure for Lupus?
person A: No unfortunately there isn't.  You can sometimes go into remission with really powerful drugs but that isn't guaranteed
person B: I am sorry about that. Is it contagious?
person A: no it is an autoimmune disease
