Stress related: Lupus or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) symptoms can vary from person to person. Anytime the body goes through a surgery-especially one with postop infection- significant stress is incurred. This stress can weaken the bodies normal ability to function properly. Please communicate your symptoms to your doctor and follow up.
