When a lupus flare occurs, people will usually notice a return of the symptoms they experienced previously, but sometimes they will notice new symptoms. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Fever
• Swollen joints
• Increase in fatigue
• Rashes
• Sores or ulcers in the mouth or nose
• A temperature over 100 degrees, not due to an infection, is often a helpful sign in identifying a flare.
