Is Lupus permanent

[DreamWeaver]

I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for some help. I recently found out that someone close to me has been diagnosed with Lupus. I've done some research, but I'm still not sure if this is a permanent condition. Does anyone here have any experience with Lupus or know more about it? Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
