Avoiding Sunlight Sunlight can produce skin rashes in people with lupus. It can also cause flares of the disease. Exposure to sunlight should be particularly avoided at high altitudes, or on water. People with lupus often feel too tired to do anything. It is important that you try to rest more often and avoid doing things which you find exhausting.
Relaxation exercises can be very helpful.
Most people with lupus do not have difficulty conceiving. Some have a flare of the disease after the baby is born. This can be difficult to cope with when there are so many other new pressures. A caring, supportive partner is essential at this time. Repeated miscarriages can be caused by lupus and in some cases this can be the only manifestation of the disease.
