Funny you ask this. Before being diagnosed
recently I had a flare-up (didn't know it
was lupus yet) and my boyfriend has
noticed that I have drastic changes in
mood. He very nicely asked: "maybe we
could see if you are bipolar ?". That
scares me in retrospect because I know
Lupus can affect the brain and I also had
many incidents of "Lupus Fog" (short
confusion episodes). I am a graduate
student in math, and the possibility of my
brain (moods) being affected scares the
living daylights out of me. It pretty much
could put an end to my career goals. I
read somewhere that Lupus can even cause
psychosis (hope it's not true).
