i missed out that propranolol was for the shaking with your whole body... it helps with your nerves system as lupus can attack that to ..x

I get the shakes and have not, as yet, come to an answer as to why. I did think it was my diabetes for a while, but this has now been ruled out. So I would be very interested to know if you find an answer.

Hi everyone - so great to hear all this - I have had uncontrollable shaking in my arms and legs since having a brain haemerage in 2007 when I was diagnosed with my SLE and Fibro - before they got my meds right - I would have 20-30 in a day sometimes 20 one after the other - sometimes lasting from fiveminutes - sometimes 40 minutes or longer. Since getting my meds right I now get them very seldom - usually if I over exert myself or do too much - but have meds to take when I feel them coming on - sometimes I can get it under control but sometimes have to go to a and e - but only problem is - they never know what to do there - so wish the nurses and doctors would be more prepared to know how to deal with these problems....................best of luck to you allx
