Hi...my wife has lupus and she hasn t been feeling well today. I was wondering if this is just a lupus episode or something else. She has joint pain (she says it feels like her joints are burning) a headache, chills, nausea, and dizziness. What do you think?

Hello,

The symptoms more likely suggest a viral fever. But lupus some time mimics this symptoms. Now take Acetaminophen for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a rheumatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
