UNDERSTANDING YOUR SYMPTOMS
What are the symptoms of lupus?
Systemic lupus erythematosus, usually called lupus, is a long-term autoimmune disease. The immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, causing inflammation that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, and other organs. Symptoms differ widely and may come and go. Periods of increased illness are called flares, but a clinician must assess what is changing.
Fatigue
Ongoing or increased tiredness can affect your day even without visible symptoms.
Joint discomfort
Pain, swelling, or morning stiffness may affect one or more joints.
Skin rashes
Rashes may appear on the face or elsewhere, sometimes after sun exposure.
Mouth or nose sores
Sores can come and go and may not always feel painful.
Hair changes
Hair loss or thinning may be another change to mention at appointments.
Fever
An unexplained fever can have several causes and warrants medical advice.
Symptoms can have more than one cause, and experiences vary. A symptom list cannot tell you whether you have lupus. A healthcare professional can assess your symptoms and decide which tests or follow-up are appropriate.
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY, TOGETHER
Less to remember. More to talk about.
A symptom journal gives the day-to-day details of life with lupus a place to go. With Jetty, you can talk or type about your symptoms and daily life while they’re still fresh.
Jetty keeps your health notes organized over time, helping you look back on changes and prepare the symptom history and questions you want to bring to your next appointment.
What to put in your symptom journal
Bring together changes that might otherwise feel disconnected: tiredness, sore joints, a rash, or mouth sores. Tell Jetty when each appeared and whether it changed your ordinary plans.
Include relevant time outdoors and symptoms that faded before your appointment. A dated account can make the conversation clearer, while your clinician assesses whether changes are related to lupus.
Questions you might bring: Which new symptoms should I report between visits? What monitoring do I need even when I feel relatively well?
