May I ask what your originial auto immune illness was/is?
I have Graves disease (auto-immune overactive thyroid) that reappeared with my breast cancer diagnosis (3rd time Graves) but prior chemo starting.
During my second round of treatment of taxol I had a mild allergic reaction so I needed higher steroid doses. Even though it was only one day per week on the steroids I developed rapid weight gain, moon face and a fat hump on my back. All resolved once chemo finished. The taxol chemo ...which is obviously a different regime than yours impacted on my balance, gave me terrible pain and slowed my walking down where it felt like walking in wet cement. Fortunately all gone now.
I am wondering though if your thyroid function has been checked? An over active thyroid can cause shakes throughout your entire body as well as a hand tremor and makes your legs feel weak. Throw some steroids on that and you are in overdrive. Sometimes its just an awful timing coincidence but it could be tested quickly and be outruled. Unfortunately us people with autoimmune illnesses can develop another. Worth checking or discussing with a Dr. Sometimes because of being under cancer treatment they forget the basic stuff. Kath x
