I have been suffering from a lot of headaches and painful scalp. I got a brain scan a few months ago which shows an increase in lesions on the brain from my last scan in 2013. Can anyone tell me what the symptoms of these lesions are and how serious they are

Hi I have an Arachnoid Cyst which has been symptomatic all my life. Most brain lesions are totally unsympathetic and if your Rheumy isn’t worried, l am sure they are nothing to worry about. If your worried contact your Rheumy as stress makes Lupus worse.
