Do any of you notice puffy upper eyelids in the morning? I keep seeing this associated with nephritis. I have gained weight recently. My lupus is a little more active (stiff joints, fatigue) but I have never had nephritis or any kidney problems in the past. I'm due to see my rheumy in 2 weeks. Anyone had this symptom with or without nephritis?

Hi i'm netty from devon uk.
i dont have a definate dx of lupus just a probable.
i'm sorry but i dont know what nephritis is(sorry spelling)! but i do get the eye lid swelling! its one of the many symptoms when my body goes hay wire!
