Hi,
In my opinion, you should get done clinical examination and MRI of brain to rule out left sided stroke.
Your drugs are appropriate. Just start physiotherapy for left sided weakness. Also get done CRP levels to identify activities of Lupus. You may need immunosuppression if CRP is too high.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
