Fever & Fatigue with Lupus

Lupus Symptoms:  Fever & Fatigue

Most people with lupus experience some degree of fatigue..  In many cases, ti is severe enough to interfere with exercise and other daily activities.  Most patients also run a low-grade fever from time to time.  This unexplained fever may be the only warning sign in some people.

Nail Changes with Lupus

Lupus Symptom:  Nail Changes

Lupus can cause the nails to crack or fall off.  They may be discolored with blue or reddish spots at the base.  These spots are actually in the nail bed, the result of inflamed small blood vessels.  Swelling may also make the skin around the base of the nail look red and puffy.

What is Butterfly Rash?

Lupus Symptom:  Butterfly Rash

A tell-tale sign of lupus is a butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and bridge of the nose.  Other common skin problems include sensitivity to the sun with flaky, red spots or a scaly, purple rash on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, and arms. Some people also develop mouth sores.

Lupus Symptom: Joint Pain

Pain in Joints

Joint and muscle pain is often the first sign of lupus. This pain tends to occur on both sides of the body at the same time, particularly in the joints of the wrists, hands, fingers, and knees.  The joints may look inflamed and feel warm to the touch.  But unlike rheumatoid arthritis, lupus usually does not cause permanent joint damage.

You May Be Wondering 'What Is Lupus?"

What is Lupus?

Lupus is a lifelong disorder of the immune system.  Immune cells attack the body's own healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.  Symptoms may be limited to the skin, but often lupus also causes internal problems such as joint pain.  In severe cases, it can damage the heart, kidneys, and other vital organs.  Although there's no cure, there are treatments that can minimize the damage.
