Question about a lupus flare . . .?

Question

How many days before a flare do you have symptoms? What are your symptoms?

Answer 1

Hi there,

New here. I am trying to help others with Lupus, as my hubby has now been diagnosed for two years.

Speaking from our experiences my husband noticed symptoms a couple of weeks before he tested positive to a Lupus flare. But this depends on the person, and the factors I guess. The same with the symptoms.

My hubby gets a bad rash, right before the flare. And it generally hits the kidney each time.

If you are already a diagnosed Lupus patient, then I would suggest that you see your doctor ASAP. As catching a flare early is the key.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Here is the online info

What triggers an attack of lupus in a susceptible person? Scientists have noted common features in many lupus patients. In some, exposure to the sun causes sudden development of a rash and then possibly other symptoms. In others an infection, perhaps a cold or a more serious infection, does not get better, and then complications arise. These complications may be the first signs of lupus. In still other cases, a drug taken for some illness produces the signaling symptoms. In some women, the first symptoms and signs develop during pregnancy. In others, they appear soon after delivery. Many people cannot remember or identify any specific factor. Obviously, many seemingly unrelated factors can trigger the onset of the disease.

Answer 3

a friend of mine has lupus and had very irritated skin, with a lot of scabbing, etc.

he looked for all sorts of cures and stumbled upon this high antioxidant supplement that has an ingredient shown to kill cancer cells in a lab.

his skin is not perfect, but the main irritation and scabbing has subsided and he can enjoy life a whole lot more. he actually got me started on the drink and my minor aches and pains have been reduced.
