Lupus Fog Today

I am a lupian or I am lupie (maybe spelled luppie). These are terms people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) call themselves. Partly as a way to poke fun at the illness.

We also have a term we call lupus fog. Now most doctors deny that it exsist or maybe they just have nothing medical to back it up or can’t do anything about it so they tend to dismiss it or act like it is our imagination. At least that has been my experience. Almost all lupies will tell you it is real, most of us are in it every day. I use to be in it every day. My lupus is mostly in remission. It no longer threatens my life or makes me so sick I feel like I might die.

But today I am in that lupus fog. I’ve not been right all day. I thought I had forgotten some meds or my blood sugar is not right but everything is as it should be, except my brain wont engage. It is unusual for me these days. It wont last long and I’m fine. Just wanted to write about it while it was on my mind.
