Female, in 40s

I have already been diagnosed with SLE by a specialist and wanted to check if it is causing the symptoms that I was experiencing such as joint pain, fever, and headache. Using Ubie was a good experience, I feel it gave me some issues to look into for possibly being the culprit of my issues.

Female, in 20s

I had dizziness and felt like I was floating. I also had a fever and a headache. I've used WebMD before but Ubie was very straightforward and easy to use! Now Ubie says I may have SLE, I will go see my doctor as suggested!

What is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)?

An autoimmune disease caused by the body's immune system attacking organs and cells. The exact cause is unclear, but risk factors include being female, childbearing age, and heredity. SLE may involve nearly every organ system in the body with a wide range of potential symptoms that often wax and wane over time.

Diagnostic Questions for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Have you been diagnosed with photosensitivity?
  • Are you experiencing increased hair loss?
  • Do you have body-wide pain?
  • Have you ever been diagnosed with a connective tissue, autoimmune, or rheumatic disease?
  • Are your joints hot?

Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Though there is no cure, treatment aims to keep the disease inactive and ease symptoms. This is done through medications that suppress or modify the immune system. Creams can be given for rashes, and anti-inflammatory medicines and painkillers for joint pain.
