lupus affects the kidneys.
And when the kidneys don't work properly, then the
electrolytes can get messed up.
Another factor could be wrist drop.
Raglet's fingers are not as extreme as with carpopedal spasm,
so hers might be a wrist drop scenario, or a mild carpopedal.
In any case it is not a nice thing to deal with.
I had terrible loss of function with my carpal tunnel for several years. It was very very inhibiting and painful. I am so grateful that most has resolved. At the time it seemed like a long dark tunnel ahead!
