Looking for advice on new medication

Benlysta didn’t help me but my dr gave me an at home injection called Acthar Gel and I can honestly say that it has saved me. My flare ups aren’t as often as they were and it helps me immensely!! Ask your Rheumatologist about it… it’s worked wonders for me thank God!!:)) I also went through 14 rounds of Chemotherapy, Cytoxin, when I was first diagnosed and I wouldn’t b here today without those treatments. Hang in here, I totally understand what you’re going through. U can find me on FB under Breann Van Fleet if u ever need support or to talk to someone who understands what you’re going through.. I’d love to b if help if I can!!:))

Hi!.. I’ve been doing some research on Benlysta too. I just don’t know how to go about asking my rheumatologist about it. She always says there’s nothing else to add to treatment other than hydroxychloroquine and Duloxetine.

That medication honestly gave me my life back!

With me

Benlysta didn’t work well with it cause me to be hospitalized and my doctor had to put me on prednisone and started a new medication 💊

I'm taking syndriod, Prednisone, mycophenolate, ferrous sulfate,folic acid, plaquinal and metrolol

👍

Don't give up! I also thought that way too and my Dr put me on benlysta and I feel so much better

I've been taking benlysta and had my recent 3rd infusion. I feel 100% times better, I don't really feel fatigued, I feel more energized and I don't feel much joint pains as before. I feel like you should talk to your Dr about your meds and figure out why you're having a flare up.

Hi! I just started mine it does help a lot it's supposed to help us go into remission and eventually take us off prednisone if you're on it already
