Understanding Lupus Symptoms

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, causing inflammation and damage to the body. The symptoms of lupus can vary widely, making proper diagnosis and treatment all the more important. Common lupus symptoms include:


  • Fever

  • Joint pain and swelling

  • Skin rashes, often worsened by sunlight

  • Kidney issues

  • Chest pain

  • Unexplained hair loss

  • Sores in the mouth and nose

  • Persistent fatigue


Because these symptoms mimic those of other conditions, it is essential to consult a skilled lupus doctor specialist who can accurately identify and address the disease.
