Your symptoms suggest that your discoid lupus may have become systemic, I.e. SLE. Your rheumatologist should consider adding to your existing medication for discoid lupus, so that these other symptoms are taken care of.

I understand how scary and frustrating it is - before I was diagnosed I've been in A&E many times with chest pain and numbness down the arms, let alone feeling off. I was convinced that my heart is the problem but it turned out that the heart was fine, it was the lupus that was causing me the aggravation. Once I started treatment for it, these symptoms went away. I then had to deal with the drugs' side effects (such as muscle twitching, for example) but that's what we all have to deal with if we want to live a semi-normal life.

I used to have tremors in my hands before lupus treatment - rhythmical movement of thumbs, for example. Weeeeirddd...

Go back to your rheumy and pester for a revised diagnosis, you can't go on like this!

I get the shakes more than I use to. Wake up shaking in the morning sometimes and after I wake from a nap. Not on medication by choice. I just deal with it. If it gets worse, I will try to figure something out. I think it's my nerve endings. Not sure...good luck with finding help.
