Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 But RA can effect your internal organs so wouldn't the brain be considered an organ? I don't have lupus and I get brain fog & I know others that notice the same fog. What does have to say on the matter??????

Hi -- I haven't heard of RA affecting the brain, but Lupus is notorious for it. Folks with lupus complain of " brain-fog " i.e. inability to think clearly, and also of memory problems.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 , Arthritis is inflammation of a joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory disease. A rheumatic disease. Although arthritis is a hallmark of RA, RA affects more than just the joints. In lupus, another rheumatic disease, arthritis is not always present. Several rheumatic diseases can impact the central nervous system.
