Hiding Behind the Fog: Stop Ignoring Cognitive Impairment in Autoimmune Disease (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218691974)

What if you were lecturing in a university classroom, spewing professional jargon you had utilized for 15 years, when you suddenly couldn't remember the words? Days later, you went to the grocery store, but then forgot you went to the store by the time you got home, causing all your cold groceries to be ruined. Would you panic? Question your sanity? Blame your autoimmune disease? Would you desperately search for answers before you completely lose your mind and your identity? The author did all that, but she couldn't find the book she needed to help her with her cognitive dysfunction at the time. It wasn't out there. Instead, she started devouring research articles and related books, highlighting, and taking notes. Five years later, she wrote this book. Through the knowledge she gained, and the changes she implemented, her brain fog cleared, her lupus improved, and she was able to wean off of nine medications. Now, Julie wants to share what she learned with you. She sincerely hopes this book helps people who are feeling hopeless about their future, and frustrated with their brain. May it give autoimmune patients the knowledge they need to get back to being themselves. May it also give professionals the knowledge and confidence they need to help autoimmune patients with cognitive impairment.
