Stress can affect all aspects of your life, including your emotions, behaviors, thinking ability, and physical health. No part of the body is immune. But, because people handle stress differently, symptoms of stress can vary. Symptoms can be vague and may be the same as those caused by medical conditions.
Lupus has a wide range of symptoms which span the body. The neurological symptoms include headaches, depression, seizures, cognitive dysfunction, mood disorder, cerebrovascular disease, polyneuropathy, anxiety disorder, psychosis, and in some extreme cases, personality disorders.
Prior to the onset of a flare, lupus patients may notice a number of indicative signs: Out of proportion and persistent fatigue. Persistent weakness. Aching all over. Slight to high fever. Persistent loss of appetite. Involuntary weight loss. Increasing hair loss.
