I had a 1 week lupus flare followed by a bout of bronchitis which knocked me off my feet for 2 weeks. is bronchitis harder on me because of the lupus?

Possibly : Viral illnesses may be prolonged and individual immune responses may vary in Lupus. Rest, hydration, a flu vaccine and Tamiflu as indicated may be part of your management. Watch for fever spikes and prolonged cough.
