May 16- Lupus Fact
Lupus can cause cognitive dysfunction, including memory loss and difficulty concentrating.
Cognitive dysfunction, or what many refer to as “brain fog” or “lupus fog,” is often experienced by those who have lupus. The symptoms of lupus fog take many forms, and it affects everyone differently. It can be confusing and frustrating.
Symptoms range in quantity and severity, and they can include:
sleeplessness
rushed speech
difficulty with word finding
difficulty navigating
trouble remembering small details
impairment of other brain functions that make daily tasks more difficult
Lupus fog is often episodic, meaning that there will be periods of worsening and then a return to normal function.
This is your sixteenth Butterfly of Hope.
We need awareness! We need a cure!
Encourage everyone you know to let it FLY!
