If you have lupus or know someone with lupus. please consider becoming an advocate. Lupus advocacy helps raise awareness about the disease, fosters research for better treatments, and supports those affected by lupus. Additionally, advocacy efforts contribute to improved healthcare policies and increased funding for lupus research. Why I Advocate: For those we have lost. For those who are currently fighting. For those who have not yet been diagnosed. Lupus can affect various organs and systems in the body. Common areas of organ involvement include: Skin: Skin rashes, especially on the face (butterfly rash), and sensitivity to sunlight. Joints: Joint pain and arthritis are common lupus symptoms. Kidneys: Lupus nephritis can cause inflammation and damage to the kidneys. Heart: Lupus can affect the heart, leading to inflammation of the heart muscle or the membrane surrounding the heart. Lungs: Inflammation of the lungs can occur, causing chest pain and difficulty breathing. Brain and Central Nervous System: Lupus may cause headaches, seizures, and cognitive dysfunction. Blood: Lupus can affect blood cells, leading to anemia, leukopenia (low white blood cell count), or thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). The extent of organ involvement varies among individuals, and symptoms can range from mild to severe. Regular medical monitoring and proper management are crucial to address lupus-related complications. #slelupus #LupusAdvocacy #medicalresearch #autoimmunedisease #lupusreseach Lupus Foundation of America, Inc.
