💜 Lupus: What You Should Know 💜

🦋Lupus

What You Should Know 🐺

So many people have heard of lupus but don’t really know what it is. Here’s a quick breakdown:

💜 It’s an autoimmune disease

💜 It can affect your joints, skin, and organs

💜 Fatigue, pain, and rashes are common

💜 It’s not contagious

💜 There’s no cure yet, but it can be managed

Awareness matters. Keep learning, keep supporting.

Anyone have FIBROMYALGIA & EBV (Esptein Barr-Virus)? Then get diagnosed with Lupus???

My son was diagnosed with Lupus and by the time we found out it had already shut down his kidneys and his heart was functioning lower than normal and his lungs wasn’t operating at capacity and he refused treatment was given less than six months to live and ended up being killed four months after! Worse time of my life it all happened so quick 😔

Text on a white background describing '1. Lupus Headaches (aka "Lupus Migraine")' as throbbing, relentless headaches that may not respond to regular medication, potentially linked to brain inflammation.
