Lupus may be hard to diagnose. It’s often mistaken for other diseases. For this reason, lupus has been called the "great imitator." The signs of lupus differ from person to person. Some people have just a few signs; others have more.

Common signs of lupus are:

Red rash or color change on the face, often in the shape of a butterfly across the nose and cheeks

 

Painful or swollen joints

Extreme fatigue (feeling tired all the time)

 

Unexplained fever

Pale or purple fingers or toes from cold or stress

 

Chest pain with deep breathing

Depression, trouble thinking, and/or memory problems

 

Swollen glands

Unusual hair loss (mainly on the scalp)

 

Sensitivity to the sun

Low blood count

 

mouth sores

unexplained seizures (convulsions)

 

"seeing things" (hallucinations)

repeated miscarriages

 

unexplained kidney problems
