I'm wearing my #temporarytattoo for all #lupus warriors and their families. 💜 I wear my shiny butterfly temp tattoo for my oldest sister whom has Lupus. 💜💋💜 #whyitattoo 💜
Watching her struggles throughout the years has been difficult. The least we can do as loved ones is inform ourselves about lupus and how it affects the body. That's exactly why I am sharing this post. <3
LUPUS FACTS & INFORMATION
Lupus is an autoimmune disease, which means that the immune system mistakes the body's own tissues as foreign invaders and attacks them. No single factor is known to cause lupus. Research suggests that a combination of genetic, hormonal, environmental, and immune system factors may be behind it. The lupus symptoms you have depend on what areas of your body the lupus is affecting. But the most common can be:
Intense fatigue
Fever
Trouble breathing
Bruise easily
Joint pain, stiffness and swelling
Muscle aches
Skin rash on the face or body
Extreme sun sensitivity
Weight loss
Chest pain
Nose, mouth, or throat sores
Enlarged lymph nodes
Poor circulation in fingers and toes
Bald patches and hair loss
Less common symptoms include:
Confusion
Seizures
Anemia
Dizziness
Headaches
Most likely they will show up every now and then, or in what your doctor might call “flares.” Your symptoms will often get worse and then get better. Some could totally go away, but others might not improve at all. (Information directly from WebMD.)
Would you like to honor someone? Perhaps they are still with us, perhaps they have already departed this earthly plane... regardless, let us show our unwavering support for them. <3
