What symptoms do you experience with Lupus?

Debilitating fatigue, joint and muscle pain everywhere, pericarditis episodes that last days and are pretty severe, digestive issues, hot flushes, mild fevers, hair loss, hives randomly on my body, dry eyes, weight gain, cramps in legs and shoulders

The descriptions you gave are the kinds of flare ups I experienced myself over the last couple years. Definitely having an anxiety disorder means I have to be incredibly mindful of I spiral into stressful situations and then trigger flare ups. I also get weird purple rashes on my upper arms and t zone of my face

My lupus is pretty well managed these days but when it does flare, I usually experience joint pain and extreme fatigue. Additionally, I have eczema, reynaud's, and mixed connective tissue disease, and there's definitely a connection between hormonal changes, my lupus flares, and when my veins start to constrict or when scaley eczema patches start popping up all over. If you think you're having lupus symptoms, especially if you think you have the butterfly rash, I'd advocate for a full panel of bloodwork. I know some rheumatologists can be reluctant to do them, but it's better to do an unnecessary lab then to live with misdiagnosis and poor treatment
