Symptoms of lupus

There are lots of possible symptoms of lupus.

The main symptoms include:

joint and muscle pain
extreme tiredness that will not go away no matter how much you rest
rashes that usually come on after being in the sun – the rash is often over the nose and cheeks

You might also have:

headaches
mouth ulcers
a high temperature
hair loss
weight loss
swollen glands, usually in the neck, armpits or groin
depression and anxiety
chest or tummy pain
changes in the colour of your fingers and toes when you're cold, anxious or stressed (Raynaud's)

Lupus often flares up (relapses) and symptoms become worse for a few weeks, sometimes longer.

Symptoms then settle down (remission). The reason why symptoms flare up or settle down is not known.

Some people do not notice any difference and their symptoms are constant.

Lupus is better managed if it's found and treated early.
