Anita was diagnosed with lupus about 25 years ago, but the symptoms all seem to be physical rather than mental - some days she seems absolutely fine, some days she can barely walk but I think the huge variety of meds helps a lot (sleeping pills for night-time to help her body "shut down" and repair itself, steroids to help with repair (although a side effect is that it pretty much doubles the weight gain possible from a given amount). A whole cocktail of other drugs too.
As a result of the lupus, as well as some other stuff, she cannot hold down a job, so has various benefits like a motability allowance, and something called a P.I.P., whatever that is.
I don't know whether her lupus (or it's treatment) has any effect on her mentally as I didn't know her pre-lupus so I have no point of reference. She is a very strong woman and takes this stuff in her stride. She's a good 'un and I love her to bits
