Understanding Brain Fog in Lupus Patients
Is there hope for patients with lupus brain fog?
For cases such as severe cerebral lupus, the inclusion of an immunosuppressive is extremely beneficial and reduces the severity of the impact of lupus. For many suffering the lupus symptoms in the brain and central nervous system, the prognosis is usually excellent, and the involvement is usually completely reversible, save for the cases of patients who have suffered multiple stokes where irreversible brain disease may already be a consequence.
Even for patients who are schizophrenic or those who suffer from seizure, a total recession and recovery from the lupus brain fog is highly achievable and a return to their normal and regular lifestyle can be predicted. A variety of medications may be applied including antimalarial, steroids and Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDS). The patient’s response to the prescribed treatment determines the duration of the treatment and the continuity.
