Symptoms

If you have lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE), you may be extremely tired, have skin rashes, or have joint pain. If the disease is more serious, you may have problems with your kidneys, heart, lungs, blood, or nervous system.

Lupus symptoms depend on what body organs are affected and how seriously they are affected.

Fatigue: About 90% of people with lupus have mild to extreme fatigue. 4 Even mild cases of lupus cause an inability to engage in daily activities and exercise. 5 Increased fatigue is a classic sign that a symptom flare is about to occur.

Joint pain: About 95% of people with lupus have joint pain (arthritis) at some time. About 70% of people with lupus report that joint and muscle pain was their first sign of the disease. 4 Joints may be red and warm, and may swell; morning stiffness is also common. Lupus arthritis often occurs on both sides of the body at the same time, particularly in the wrists, small joints of the hands, elbows, knees, and ankles. 2

Skin problems: Up to 50% of people with lupus develop skin rashes. 2 These rashes are often an important clue to the diagnosis. In addition to the butterfly rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose, other common skin symptoms include skin sores or flaky red spots on the arms, hands, face, neck, or back; mouth or lip sores; and a scaly, red, or purple raised rash on the face, neck, scalp, ears, arms, and chest.

Sensitivity to light: Exposure to ultraviolet B light (such as sunlight or tanning parlors) typically worsens the skin rash and can trigger lupus flares. Sensitivity to light affects more than 50% of those with lupus. 4 Some fair-skinned people with lupus are also sensitive to ultraviolet A light (sunlight filtered through glass).

Nervous system symptoms: The majority of people with lupus develop nerve-related problems, such as headaches and memory loss, ranging from mild to severe.

Heart problems: People with lupus may develop inflammation of the heart sac (pericarditis), which may cause severe, sudden pain in the center of the left side of the chest that may spread to the neck, back, shoulders, or arms.

Mental health problems: People with lupus may develop problems such as anxiety and depression. Such problems can be caused by lupus, the medications used to treat it, or the stress of coping with chronic illness.

Fever: About 80% of people with lupus will sometimes have a low-grade fever related to the disease. Over a third of people with lupus report that fever was a first sign of the disease. 4

Changes in weight: About 60% of people with lupus lose weight. 4

Hair loss: Up to 50% of people with lupus experience periods of hair loss, either in patches or all over the head. This hair loss is usually not permanent. 2

Swollen glands: Up to 50% of people with lupus eventually develop swollen lymph glands. 4

Raynaud's phenomenon: This condition, present in about 20% of people with lupus, affects the skin's blood vessels and may cause the fingers and toes to turn pale and white and then blue. The skin affected will feel numb, tingly, and cold to the touch. 6

Inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis): Bleeding from the blood vessels can lead to small or large blue spots or small reddish spots on the skin or nail beds.

HAve an MRI done. Some of the symptons are similar to a brain tumor. Please, have her checked out head to toe ASAP.

I'm praying for her.

First, Don't give up on doctors. Try a rheumatology practice or clinic. The rundown and joint pain point in that direction. The rash on her face, coupled with the other symptoms could be indicative of "Lupus."

But please don't go on line to try to get treatment. Get her to a doctor. If it isn't Lupus or any rheumatological disorder, they can make a better referral.

Good luck. We never stop being mom no matter how old our children are, do we?l

Your daughter has so many complaints and physical problems I would pursue getting some type of diagnosis..I think in this forum to ask people what they think it is is a dangerous thing to ask..as a nurse I wouldn't begin to speculate what she might have going on..Please take her to a competent physician and make sure you get a good physical evaluation of her symptoms..this may be something very simple and easily treated but speculation doesn't diagnose and correctly treat the problem..Good luck and God Bless you and her...

Well, without knowing exactly what all this might be, I still would strongly recommend a one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax.

It boosts the self-healing power of the body and the soul in an amazing way - I've experienced it myself.

Just - it's available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. Even to travel far is really worthwile! :-)

Good luck!

Vitamin deficiency could be the simple solution.

Has she ever had any type of spinal injury? She may need to consult with an orthopedic specialist.

I agree with ashli K about testing for lupus, but also investigate vasculitis. I had the same symptoms for two years until I went to a rhuematologist trained in immunology who ran the correct tests to diagnose me. In the meantime, I had a host of other doctors who put me on so much medication that didn't help or solve the problem. Good Luck and God Bless!
