A symptom that PwLupus (and MS) can have is peripheral neuropathy

"If a sensory nerve is damaged, you're likely to experience symptoms that may include:

Pain
Numbness
Tingling
Muscle weakness
Burning
Loss of feeling

These symptoms often begin gradually. You may have a tingling sensation or numbness that starts in your toes or the balls of your feet and spreads upward. Tingling might also begin in your hands and extend up your arms. In some cases your skin may become so sensitive that the slightest touch is agonizing. You may also have numbness, or even a complete lack of feeling, in your hands or feet.

At times your symptoms may be barely noticeable, and some people go years without realizing anything is wrong. For others, symptoms are constant, and especially at night may be almost unbearable. Signs and symptoms may include:

The sensation that you're wearing an invisible glove or sock
Burning pain
Sharp, jabbing or electric-like pain
Extreme sensitivity to touch, even light touch
Lack of coordination"

If that was a "butterfly rash", which does tend to occur in the sun for people with Lupus . . . and you are experiencing neuropathy . . . I'd be checking into that condition (if they haven't already).

PwLupus and PwMS have many similar symptoms.
