Lupus Support Group

Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.

I do not think it is directly caused by the lupus, it may be from the stress.
I have several family members with true dislexia(me too) a brother,two sons and my sister.If it were true deslexia you would have had it all your life.
Now stress can cause a lot of things to happen.The more you stress the worse it gets and the worse it gets the more you stress.You can see how it could get to be a real hassle.
Yu may want to tell your doctor and find out if there is anything they cn do for it, also I just thought this could be a symptom of CNS so you really should tell the doctor.If it is just stress then hopefully they can help you to manage it so that it does not interfere with your day to day life.
Try to relax and good luck.......Deb

The older I get, the more dyslexic (sp) I get. I don't know if its Lupus related, but it seems to be increasingly worse

I couldn't believe when I saw your posting. I am 29 and over the last several year I have noticed trouble with reading and writing numbers and letters. I have read several things stating that fibromyalgia could cause confusion with letters and numbers. I have fibro as well a Lupus. Maybe the statements are true for both diseases.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
