i keep feeling lightheaded during the day & my hands can start shaking even when im just sitting down it comes & goes i am on hydroxychloroquine 200mg x 2,mycophenolate 4 x 500g , ramipril 10mg & simvastatin 40mg daily i have come off steriods about a month & half . my doctor keeps saying my sugar levels are fine and the shakes could be carpal tunnel love to hear if any body else have these symptoms and if they found out what is causing it .

I have had the shakes for years, inherited off my mum, I take propanalol for this and it does help. I have what is called an essential tremor, although whats essential about it, I dont know.

I get that I feel as though I'm not actually in my head but beside it! very weird sometimes, I also get vertigo I get a little shake now and again mostly when I'm tired, shaking hands could be a symptom of one of the vitamin B's deficiency ask your Dr to check your folates and B12, I don't take anything you're on but the Plaquenil but I put mine down to Gabapentin but could just be a lupie thing! hope it wears off soon or you get it sorted xx

I get shakes sometimes and am really embarassed by it. Think everyone thinks I have overdone the booze the night before. However, I can go for a week without it so have never really worked out the trigger. Vertigo is interesting as during a flare I am frightened going down an escalator, week later I am fine. Would be interested in your comments. Take care and keep well. Jax x
