Did Anna Nicole Have Lupus??

A shocking new claim has been made concerning Anna Nicole Smith’s tragic death.
Dr. Bob Lahita has revealed that the reality star may have been suffering from lupus, a disease which affects the immune system.
The drugs Topamax, Dilaudid and Methadone were found in her hotel room after she had died, and sources said that she had possibly over-dosed. This theory was blown out of the water when the medical examiner said they’d found no evidence of drug abuse. So what could she have been taking them for?
Well, Dr. Lahita believes that she may have been using the drugs to help control the pain from her lupus. He said that “about 60% of lupus patients develop a condition called Fibro Myalgia. The condition causes chronic and extreme pain across the body in muscles, tendons and ligaments and can make it hard for a patient to sleep.” Both Topamax and Dilaudid are used as painkillers.
He added that there was a possibility that the disease may have killed her, stating that about three months after a pregnancy, the disease can “really flair up.”
It sounds like they’re grasping at straws here. Anna Nicole having lupus is just a little far-fetched to me. I mean, someone would have come out now with concrete evidence. It’s a tough disease to have, and I can’t imagine Anna would have been able to keep news like that from everybody, least of all Howard K. Stern, whom she supposedly “loved.”
