             People with #lupus can experience cognitive symptoms such as having a hard time thinking clearly or remembering things. This is called #brainfog. Brain fog can impact cognitive skills like language, memory, coordination, mood and vision. #LupusAwarenessMonth

             Many people living with #lupus struggle to maintain full-time employment. A national statistic estimates only 30% of lupus patients are able to be employed full time. If you have lupus and are able to continue working, the Americans with Disabilities Act allows you to ask your

             People living with #lupus are often told they do not look sick since they display no noticeable signs of the illness. While it can be taken as a compliment, it also takes away how hard each person with lupus fights every single day. Not all disabilities or illnesses are visible.

             The majority of those with #lupus identify #fatigue as their primary symptoms. Lupus fatigue is not the same as feeling tired β it's a tired sleep can't fix. #lupusawareness #lupusawarenessmonth

             While the exact cause of #lupus is unknown, research shows itβs a combination of genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. People with an inherited predisposition for #autoimmune may develop the disease when they come into contact with something in their environment that

             Only five treatments are currently approved for #lupus (aspirin, corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, belimumab, and anifrolumab-fnia) and two drugs for #lupusnephritis (belimumab and voclosporin). But there are many in the pipeline, hope is on the horizon! #LupusAwarenessMonth
