I experience memory loss and seizures, random bouts of depression. Still waiting to see a neurologist again

I struggle with all of that and have CNS lupus. Waiting to see how it will be treated

I’ve dealt with depression for years but it’s definitely gotten worse since I was diagnosed with SLE. My mood swings were off the charts as well.

My lupus symptoms started with these types of symptoms. I experienced being in a manic state that turned into a deep depression. I also had memory loss, migraines and light sensitivity. In general my whole mood became off as well. I felt like a high dose of steroids was the only thing that brought me out of this fog. I tried other routes of treatment but didn’t have much luck.

Not exactly what you described, but yes my mental health and cognitive ability have suffered since diagnosis. I actually found a neuropsychologist who specializes in how the brain copes with chronic pain and it’s amazing! I highly recommend finding one if you can. However, because this is an emerging field, it’s not always easy to find these therapists, so the most important thing is just finding a good mental health practitioner who can guide you.

I struggle a lot with memory loss/brain fog. I have dealt with depression for almost 20 years and has recently gotten worse. I started experiencing mood swings recently as well. I’m on Duloxetine for both depression and fibromyalgia and it’s helping but I still don’t know how to deal with my mood swings and not sure if it’s related to lupus, depression or the medication making me moody.
