There are many symptoms of lupus. Some are subtle, some can knock
you out of commission. Some are noticeable to others, some only
you can sense. Be it sensitivity to sunlight or not being able
to process bodily fluids, each symptom tells a little bit about
the nature of your experience with lupus and how best to treat
the disease. Listed below you will find the most common symptoms.
Early symptoms of SLE are usually vague, nonspecific, and easily
confused with other pathological and functional disorders. Symptoms
may be transient or prolonged, and individual symptoms often appear
independently of the others. Moreover, a patient may have severe
symptoms with few abnormal laboratory test results, and vice versa.
