Mês de fevereiro
Mês de fevereiro is marked by the Fevereiro Roxo campaign, an initiative aimed at raising awareness about three things that affect thousands of people: Lupus, Alzheimer's and Fibromyalgia. This campaign, raised in Brazil, aims to inform the population about these conditions, their symptoms, forms of diagnosis and the importance of early treatment.
The motto of February Roxo is “There is no cure, there is comfort”, highlighting the relevance of emotional support and quality of life for patients. The three issues addressed in the campaign have common characteristics, such as the absence of a definitive cure and the significant non-daily impact on affected individuals.
Understand the issues addressed in February Roxo:
Lupus: It is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues of the body, causing inflammation.
Alzheimer's: A progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Alzheimer's is the main cause of dementia in people and lacks a cure, but early diagnosis can help slow its progress.
Fibromyalgia: Syndrome characterized by generalized muscle pain, tenderness in the body's muscles, and chronic fatigue. It is not an inflammatory condition, it causes severe impact on the quality of life.
