Stress , change of meds. The weather causes problems but not flares as such.

Stress, change of medication, weather conditions, amount of sleep, worry about housing and money.

The worst flare up I had was weather related. When we had the heatwave in the UK last summer I ended up on the sofa not moving for over a week . Next worse is stress and lack of sleep.

I have to agree stress is a big factor for me and trying to do too much,as well as a lack of sleep play a very big part.

Stress has caused a major flare up and weight loss which has made more stress and seems no end to it. Lack of sleep just adds to the worry .

@JosephineO Waking up each day with something else aching or not working as it should.

Definitely stress and long exposure to sun. Would you recommend any sun cream?

Definitely stressful situations and anything that causes inflammation. That includes inflammatory foods like chilis.

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, lupus can attack patients with "flares". Different things cause flares in different people.
What causes your lupus to flare up? How do you avoid it?
