Anyone else have hair loss on their arms and legs? Not sure if it's lupus related or not. I do loose a lot of hair from my head, but no bald spots. Thanks

Yes I have the same thing I too have been losing hair on my head also. It's good not having to shave as much I would say it's the disease not meds I had issue before dx but could be both

Yep it's any area. I should watch what I wish for but I wish my legs would join the game!!!! That being said you should still have things checked if you haven't already like your thyroid and stuff. Start with your PCP then get a 3nd opinion from a derm. Never never never blow off something as being "just lupus" we have other illnesses that like to buddy up with our pal lupus.

Jamie, I have heard that, but wasn't sure if it's all or none kind of thing. I do like not having to shave my legs though. Haha
