Lupus may be hard to diagnose. It鈥檚 often mistaken for other diseases. For this reason, lupus has been called the 鈥済reat imitator.鈥?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

Unexplained fever

Chest pain with deep breathing

Swollen glands

Extreme fatigue (feeling tired all the time)

Unusual hair loss (mainly on the scalp)

Pale or purple fingers or toes from cold or stress

Sensitivity to the sun

Low blood count

Depression, trouble thinking, and/or memory problems

Other signs are mouth sores, unexplained seizures (convulsions), 鈥渟eeing things鈥?(hallucinations), repeated miscarriages, and unexplained kidney problems. Source(s): SLE Foundation

Well darling first, there are few doctors that really care, remember that there is a paycheck involved, but you can research lupus thru the internet. I know of one person with this disease and the only visible symptom that i know of is that it looks like a butterfly drawn on her face and her skin is dry. but i believe it has some thing to do with the liver.
