Brenda, [please make sure your supplement doesn't contain echinacea, which definitely causes flares.

Some people with lupus have reported that certain supplements can worsen their symptoms. It's important to consult your doctor before taking any new supplement, as some substances added to supplements can exacerbate lupus symptoms. Always check labels and avoid ingredients that might trigger a flare-up.
