Glad to hear it's nothing serious. Migraines are manageable, but the severity can be debilitating. Is she on preventive medication?

Did she complain of severe headache? Migraine? My friend has Hemipolegic migraines. It looks like a stroke, she's paralyzed on one side, swollen. Not quite sure of the spelling of the disorder, but it's really scary to watch it happen for the first time. Now, I am filming it so her doc can see how it progresses.

Lupus gives you a higher chance of getting blood clots, which can cause a stroke.
