Lupus Tracker
Track your lupus symptoms, identify personal triggers, and gain AI-powered insights to better manage your condition.
Understanding Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune condition where your immune system gets confused and starts attacking your own healthy tissues. It's like your body's defense system has turned against you - affecting your skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and pretty much any organ it decides to target that day.
Here's the thing about lupus: it's incredibly unpredictable. You might feel fine one day and completely wiped out the next. The symptoms come and go in flares, and what triggers a flare for you might be completely different from what triggers it for someone else. That's why tracking your daily patterns becomes so crucial - you need to figure out YOUR specific triggers and warning signs.
Common Symptoms to Track
Common lupus symptoms to track:
- Joint pain and stiffness - especially in hands, wrists, and knees (track severity 1-10)
- Fatigue - that bone-deep exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix
- Skin rashes - including the classic butterfly rash across your cheeks
- Fever - low-grade fevers that come and go
- Hair loss - thinning or patches falling out
- Mouth ulcers - painful sores that won't heal
- Kidney problems - protein in urine, swelling in legs/feet
- Brain fog - trouble concentrating, memory issues
- Raynaud's phenomenon - fingers and toes turning white/blue in cold
- Chest pain - from inflammation around the heart or lungs
Sound familiar? A lot of people find that tracking the severity of these symptoms daily helps them spot patterns and catch flares before they get really bad.
How to Track Lupus
Track your inflammation markers religiously. Log your lab results in the app - things like ANA, anti-dsDNA, complement levels (C3/C4), ESR, and CRP. Mouth To Gut lets you upload lab reports and track how these numbers change over time, so you can see if your treatment is actually working.
Pay attention to your triggers. Food sensitivities are huge for many people with lupus. Use the photo logging to snap every meal, then track how you feel afterwards. The AI might catch patterns like "your joint pain spikes 70% of the time when you eat gluten AND you're stressed." Also track sun exposure - even brief time outside can trigger flares for some people.
Monitor your energy and sleep quality. Lupus fatigue isn't just being tired - it's a specific type of exhaustion. Rate your energy levels daily and track your sleep patterns. Many people find their flares correlate with poor sleep or high stress periods.
Track your medications and supplements. Log when you take your hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, or prednisone, and note any side effects. If you're trying supplements like vitamin D or omega-3s, the app helps you see if they're actually making a difference in your symptom patterns.
Use the quick stress test. Stress is a major lupus trigger, and the breath hold test can help you monitor your stress levels objectively. High stress often precedes flares by a few days.
Mouth To Gut makes it easy to log all of this in one place - and the AI finds patterns you'd never spot on your own. Instead of wondering "why am I flaring?", you'll start seeing the connections between your lifestyle, lab values, and symptoms.
