Hi and thanks for the query. I am Dr. Alok and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today. Lupus can affect any part of body, but classic presentation is triad of fever, joint pain, and rash in a woman of childbearing age. Patients may present with any of the following manifestations-- fatigue, weight changes, skin rashes, oral ulcer, hair fall, shortness of breath, urinary problems etc. I think you should see a rheumatologist as soon as possible, because there are many good medicines available other than steroids Hope this helps and provides answers to your question. I wish you good health. Dr. Alok
