Although no two cases of lupus are alike, there are symptoms—things that a person with lupus feels or experiences as opposed to a doctor testing for—that many with the disease notice. Common complaints include the following: Swollen, stiff, and painful joints Fever over 100 degrees F Fatigue Rashes on the skin and/or sensitivity to the sun Swelling around the ankles Chest pain with deep breaths Unusual hair loss Pale or purple fingers from cold or stress Mouth ulcers, often painless In some cases of lupus, several of these symptoms develop at once in what is called a “flare.” – See more at: http://lupusresearchinstitute.org/lupus-facts/lupus-symptoms#sthash.KN2fI6Tg.dpuf
