Systemic Lupus Symptoms

5. How Does Systemic Lupus Affect the Body?
Besides skin problems, lupus can have a variety of other associated symptoms. Affected individuals may find themselves feeling especially tired or fatigued. Other common symptoms can be arthritic swelling of the joints and overall feelings of discomfort. While these can be some of the most well-known symptoms, the disease presents itself differently in almost every case and people with lupus may also find that they are suffering from unexpected fever, weight loss, or headaches.
If the stomach area is especially affected, nausea may be one of the more common symptoms. On the other hand, if the disease manifests more in the head and brain area, vision problems, memory issues, and seizures may become more of a risk.
