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 day. Not all disabilities or illnesses are visible. #lupusawarenessmonth

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

The exact cause of #lupus is unknown, but research shows it’s a combination of genetic, hormonal & environmental factors. People with a predisposition for #autoimmune may develop the disease when they come into contact with something in their environment that triggers an overactive immune system.
