Supporting lupus patients and their caregivers in Memphis, TN (and surrounding counties)

Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs.

Living with lupus means learning that your social battery has limits—and that's okay. 💜

Sometimes you genuinely want to go out, spend time with family, attend church, support your friends, or enjoy a good event… but your body has other plans. 😩

Lupus fatigue isn't always visible, and needing to rest doesn't mean you're being antisocial, unreliable, or “flaky.” Sometimes protecting your energy is one of the most important ways you can take care of yourself.

So here are 8 things every lupus patient should know about their social battery. 💜
Swipe through, save this post, and share it with someone who may need the reminder.

And to our fellow lupus warriors: you don't have to feel guilty for choosing rest. Your body gets a vote, too.

💜 Rest is not selfish. Boundaries are not rejection. And protecting your peace is not something you need to apologize for.

💜 Remember: Mental health symptoms are just as real as physical symptoms. If you or someone you know with lupus is experiencing persistent depression, anxiety, or thoughts of self-harm, seek help from a healthcare provider or mental health professional. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Today's support group reminded us that healing isn't just about medicine—it's also about community, connection, and finding moments of joy together. We laughed, learned, won prizes, shared our stories, and most importantly, reminded each other that no one fights lupus alone. 💜🦋

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made today so special. Your strength, resilience, and encouragement continue to inspire us every single day.

Join us for a conversation about vulnerability, support, and how building community can help lighten the burden of living with lupus.

Lupus patients are not asking healthy people to understand every symptom. We're asking them to understand that our lives often involve battles they cannot see.

We are more than our diagnoses. We still have dreams, talents, goals, relationships, and purpose. We don't want to be defined by lupus—but we do want the reality of living with it to be acknowledged.

The greatest gift you can give someone with lupus isn't a cure. It's compassion without conditions and support without skepticism. 💜

Here's 8 Myths and Truths About What Lupus Patients Want "Healthy" People to Know.

We are proud to announce the Verline Borrum $500 Book scholarship presented by the Memphis Lupus Support Group. 💜

This scholarship honors the memory of Verline Borrum, a woman who believed in the power of education.

Although she never had the opportunity to attend college, she always knew that education was the key to a brighter future.

This scholarship is for Lupus patients who are pursuing their educational goals.

We believe in you, just as Verline did.
