Full Question:
I am 51 years old. I have suffered from headaches since I was in my teens. Twenty years ago I was diagnosed with mild Lupus. Is there a connection between migraines, headaches, and Lupus? Donna.
Answer:

Yes, there is a connection. Headaches can be a symptom of lupus. Migraine and lupus can be comorbid conditions, meaning that a person can have both conditions at the same time, but neither causes the other.
Good luck,
