Benlysta didn’t work for me but my doctor FINALLY found an injection that has worked wonders for me… it called Acthar Gel and you have to inject yourself twice a week in the belly or arm, I prefer the belly, but you should really talk to your doctor about Acthar Gel!! Without that medication, I don’t think I’d b alive right now!!! Plus I went through 12 rounds of Chemotherapy …. It was called Cytoxin. I was literally on my deathbed, I was 95 lbs and I’m 5’9” I was a skeleton…. People looked away cuz I was so scary looking 😞…. But the chemotherapy saved me too!! Please talk to your doctor about both of these medications!! My insurance covers the Acthar Gel but one tiny bottle costs $50K retail and I don’t pay anything with my insurance. I really hope your insurance covers Acthar Gel!! It worked wonders for me and I hope that it helps you!!!! I strongly recommend this medication… it’s keeping me alive and not so darn miserable 😖!! Hang in here kitten!! U got this!! Just gotta take it day by day my friend… that’s all we can do. U can contact me on FB or IG under Breann Van Fleet… feel free to contact me anytime my friend!! You’re not alone, I’m here for uuuu!! Much love 💕 and many prayers are sent your way from meee!!!:))
