Hi there, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell. I have lupus and hemiplegic migraines, which means I have left-sided head pain everyday. I really don't know how they are connected, I haven't heard of too many people with both. It's tricky with medications for both - and very little works for the migraines, apart from epilim, which has recently been reducing the severity of the attacks (I also get left-sided weakness with the migraines, shaking and jerking and problems remembering words, and that's what the epilim has helped mostly). I hope you can get some care. Kind wishes...

Hi 021879 ,

Headaches are common in lupus. They may be a part of the lupus itself or may be associated with a clotting (antiphospholipid) syndrome. They may or may not have a migrainous element with flashing lights and visual disturbances. In any patient with lupus who suffers from headaches a systematic search for known causes should be carried out including blood pressure checking and, very important, an examination of the blood for antiphospholipid antibodies ('sticky blood') and ultimately, if indicated, a brain scan.
