Yes, feeling off balance when walking can happen with lupus. Balance problems and dizziness are symptoms that some people with lupus experience, and they can be related to the condition's effects on your nervous system.

Balance issues may occur alongside other neurological symptoms like:
* Tremors or shaking
* Weakness in your limbs
* Numbness or tingling
* Difficulty walking

These symptoms can be especially noticeable during flares or when you're feeling particularly fatigued. The inflammation from lupus can affect your nervous system in ways that impact coordination and balance.

If you're experiencing balance problems, it's important to let your doctor know, especially if:
* The symptom is new or getting worse
* You're having trouble with everyday activities
* You notice other concerning symptoms like confusion, vision changes, or severe weakness

Balance issues can increase your fall risk, so working with your healthcare team to identify the cause and find ways to manage it is important for your safety and quality of life.
