Lupus can affect memory and cognition in general. But it is not only the lupus.
If there is inflammation in the brain, lupus cerebritis, your memory will be affected.
If you have central nervous system involvement your memory will be affected.
If you are anemic, and lupus often causes anemia, you will have memory problems.
Prednisone can alter your moods, and not for the better. It can make one agitated and aggressive. That will get in the way of memory.
Depression that often accompanies life with lupus affects memory. So does loss of sleep, common in lupus patients.
Worry and anxiety that go along with lupus can cause memory problems.
You are not crazy, you are sick.
There is no specific diet for your memory. For lupus, it is a good idea to eat a diet high in fiber and low in fat. Avoid processed and fast foods. Eat foods as close to their natural state as possible. Eat low on the food chain (lots of fruits and vegetables). Avoid preservatives and additives.
Try journaling for about 20 minutes every day to deal with the psychosocial issues that accompany lupus.
Best wishes.
P.S. Be EXTREMELY careful about supplements. Some will interact with your lupus meds. Some will aggravate lupus. Make sure your rheumatologist know EVERYTHING that you are taking.

To answer your question, I've never heard of Lupus affecting memory... typically, it's symptoms are joint pain, rash, and fatigue. If you're having problems with your memory at all, I can recommend several natural memory and brain support products.
You can try Ginkgo Biloba, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Phosphatidylserine, Fish Oil, Vinpocetine, Huperzine A, Bacopa Monnieri (or Monniera), or Alpha-GPC. Those are the most popular products for memory and brain support that help a LOT of different people.
Aside from pills, you can always do mental exercises, too. Playing games (like the children's game "Memory") or using memory tricks (mnemonic devices, etc) can also help to work the pathways in your brain that are responsible for memory.
