10. Other Common Symptoms of Lupus
Lupus is commonly known as the disease with a thousand faces, and that’s because it can present in patients in a variety of ways. While the symptoms of Lupus can vary dramatically from patient to patient, most doctors look for clusters of symptoms, such as muscle and joint pain, hair loss, kidney malfunction, light sensitivity, memory problems, rashes, eye disease and fatigue.
Of course, one of these symptoms on its own does not indicate that lupus is present. This condition can take months, or even years, to diagnose and generally requires multiple tests.9‘How Lupus Is Diagnosed: An Overview.’ Lupus Foundation of America, www.lupus.org/resources/how-lupus-is-diagnosed-an-overview.
