How does lupus make you feel?

Your joints and muscles can hurt in varying degrees from mild to severe. You can become fatigued very easily and there may be periods of time when you are fatigued from morning to night without doing much of anything. The disease has "flares" in which your immune system is more actively attacking your bodies own cells and tissues and during this time you may feel more pain and fatigue than during times when your disease is in "remission." Normally you are somewhere between these two extremes with a little bit of discomfort sometimes. The disease affects every single person differently since there are so many variable symptoms and degrees to which the symptoms affect each individual.
