Lupus symptoms vary widely but may include:
- Fatigue and persistent tiredness.
- Joint Pain: Swollen, painful, or stiff joints, often mistaken for arthritis.
- Skin Rashes: Especially a butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose.
- Sensitivity to sunlight, hair loss, and ulcers in the mouth or nose are also common. Lupus can affect internal organs, leading to serious complications.
