@ambitiousBike2947Hi there and welcome to 7 Cups Disability Support Community!

Lupus is a very variable condition. You are so right about the brain fog, that also affects a few other conditions and it is just like our brain is clouded in fog for sure!

I find things like keeping notebooks around me helps. Writing down just short notes, one word even can remind me and keep me on track. Some people use post it notes, or their phone, whatever is easy for you and that you will remember too!.

I think also researching the in's and out's of SLE can be a good place to start. Find out what is happening and so on. And if you are affected by photosensitivity then wearing sunblock, sunglasses and a hat too.

What do you find helps?
