🧠 WHEN THE HEADACHE JUST WON’T LET UP…

For a lupus warrior, a persistent headache can interrupt your entire day. Sometimes it feels like nothing you take helps, and you’re left waiting for the pain to ease.

Colors of Lupus wants you to know: your pain is real, and you deserve support.

“Lupus headache” is a debated medical term. People with lupus can also experience migraines and tension headaches, so a headache does not automatically mean lupus is causing it or that you’re having a flare. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

When light and sound feel overwhelming, try making your surroundings gentler:
🔹 Dim the lights and reduce screen brightness.
🔹 Lower the TV, music, and other noise.
🔹 Rest in a quiet, comfortable space.

These steps may ease discomfort, especially with migraine, but they aren’t a cure. (mayoclinic.org)

If your headache is new, worsening, or persistent—or your usual relief isn’t helping—contact your care team. Share when it started, how long it lasts, other symptoms, and what you’ve tried. You don’t have to simply “ride it out” without medical support.

🚨 Seek emergency care for a sudden, severe headache, or a headache with weakness, trouble speaking, confusion, seizure, or fever with a stiff neck. (lupus.org)

To family and friends: lowering the lights, keeping things quiet, and listening with compassion can help a warrior feel supported.

🩷💙 MEN CAN GET BREAST CANCER TOO 💙🩷
Awareness Includes Everyone.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Colors of Lupus reminds our community that men can develop breast cancer, too. Everyone deserves to be included in the conversation.

Changes to watch for include:
🔹 A new lump or swelling in the breast.
🔹 Ni**le discharge or changes.
🔹 Skin dimpling, redness, or flaking.

These changes can have causes other than cancer, but they deserve medical attention. Contact your healthcare provider promptly if you notice something new or unusual. (cdc.gov)

Our compassion extends to everyone affected by cancer. We celebrate survivors, support those in treatment, honor loved ones lost, and recognize the families and caregivers walking beside them.

🌈 Every Cancer. Every Person. Every Story Matters.

October shines a light on breast cancer, and Colors of Lupus champions awareness, understanding, and support for all cancers—year-round.

Share this reminder with the men in your life. Awareness belongs to all of us. 🦋

Here is a video from our Executive Director, Autumn Austin, sharing her most recent experience in UMC Hospital for 4 days. It takes bravery, transparency, and honesty such as this to make us understand this disease. Please like and share this video so that we can continue to educate, advocate, and empower those living with this horrific illness.

💚💜 MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS IN THE LUPUS JOURNEY 💜💚
Mental Illness Awareness Week | October 4–10, 2026

At Colors of Lupus, caring for the whole warrior means caring for your mind, body, and emotional well-being. 🦋

Living with lupus can feel overwhelming. Between appointments, uncertainty, changing plans, and the effort of explaining what others cannot see, you may need space to say how you’re really feeling.

You can be strong and still need support.
You can feel hopeful and still have difficult days.
You deserve compassion through all of it.

💚 Check in with yourself.
💜 Reach out to someone you trust.
💚 Give yourself permission to rest and set boundaries.
💜 Seek professional support when you need it.

It’s OK Not to Be OK. Asking for help is an act of caring for yourself.

This week, check in on a fellow warrior. Listen without judgment, respect their feelings, and ask what support would help.

You are more than your diagnosis. You are valued. You are not alone.
