Could Numbness And Tingling In Extremities Be Caused By Lupus?

I have had systemic Lupus since 2003. My symptoms are primarily musculoskeletal I have arthritic type symptoms. Recently, I am experiencing numbness and tingling in my extremities. Could this be Lupus or is this something else entirely? I have an atypical trigeminal neuralgia as well. If this is Lupus, is there treatment? What is the treatment?
