Whether or not your neuropathy is related to lupus, there has been some increased symptoms noted by many patients when having a lupus attack. This is due to the inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis) that is related to lupus. When the vaculitis is aggrevated by a lupus attack, circulation is decreased to an already compromised or weak nerve and symptoms are increased. So whatever the cause of your neuropathy, lupus can make the symptoms worse.
