A member asked:
Does sle lupus suffer from facial spasms/twitching.. daughter takes mycofenalate medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Mycofenalate can cause neurologic side effects, but since it is used primarily for lupus nephritis, there are several other medications , electrolyte problems and lupus itself that can be responsible. Your physician can provide an answer.
