Dizziness, Hands Shaking After Second Infusion Of Benlysta For Lupus. Side Effects?
I have Lupus (SLE) and have recently had my 2nd infusion of Benlysta. So far I've had a great outcome with virtually none of the side-effects. Today I almost fell in shower due to overwhelming dizziness and cannot stop my hands from shaking.. I have eaten on a reg schedule.. Trying to find out if this is something that is "normal" while this drug tries to override ANA..etc

Dear madam,
Although it is rare but since this side effect is very non specific it is very difficult to say that it occured because of the drug or the disease itself .
