I would like to jump in here on this thread about the sun.
People with lupus need to avoid direct sunlight. I had a drug induced lupus reaction last winter to lisinopril, a blood pressure drug. I avoided direct sun to some extent this summer.
Most of my lupus rash is on my forearms. They did not become inflamed this summer, but they did tan darker than usual, even with the little sun I received. My ANA's were normal, but I was cautioned not to get alot of direct sun anyway. I still did tan a bit anyway... it was so cold and cloudy I don't know how that happened. I wore long sleeves most of the summer!
