Some of the early signs of lupus includes; arthritis, rashes and kidney.
Worse to know about lupus is that the signs and symptoms appear first before you know you are suffering from the disease. The first thing you will know is that you just have common arthritis, rashes or kidney. Sticking to this concept will block you from finding the reality that you are suffering more than what you expected. So check more about the signs of lupus and you will find out if you encountered all these signs, then you know you have lupus;
Pain in the joints, stiffness and swelling
Chronic Fatigue
Butterfly shaped rash on the face that covers the cheeks and bridge of the nose
Ulcers in the mouth or nose
Persistent Fever
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Anaemia
Protein in the urine
Sensitivity to ultraviolet light and the sun, skin lesions that appeared or worsen with sun exposure

Having the disease doesn’t mean experiencing all these symptoms at the same time. Signs of lupus come and go they are not permanent. Like the thief I mentioned at the beginning, you don’t know what time the symptoms or signs will occur and you don’t know what part of your body will come to be affected. Though it’s hard to know who the thief and how will he intends to rob you, being aware of signs such as barking dogs, suspicious footstep or cracking sounds at your door will signal and alert you to call the police. Similarly, being fully informed about the signs and occurrence of this thief-like disease will prompt you to see your doctor if not to seek for immediate remedies to avoid serious complications in the future.
