SLE is treatable: There are many effective options, and some programs will put the disease in "remission." if that is durable then it is a functional cure. Talk to you doc about the best options for your specific situation.

No cure: There is no cure for sle. The key is to control the underlying inflammation as well as possible. Then the symptoms will also be much less severe and the chances of a longer and healthier life will increase.
