I was recently diagnosed with Lupus and I have read about brain fog being a symptom. I am not forgetting times, places and so forth, but when I am talking I am noticing that I will completly forget the word I was going to use. It is causing me to speak more slowly at times and honestly is freaking me out. Pain in joints, swelling, and feeling like I was hit by a truck are all things I guess I expect, but this symptom scares me. Does anyone else have this happen or should I not be so quick to relate this to Lupus? It isn't all the time, but is more frequently happening than I would like for it to. Thanks for any comments you may have in advance.
