trystinnI come from a family with both Lupus and Diabetes in their genetic mix. I've been diagnosed with both, though we only treat for Diabetes in my case (I refused the steroid treatment after it made me sicker than Lupus did). I mention this because finally a drug has been found to specifically treat Lupus.
Benlysta may be the miracle treatment we've been waiting 100 years for.
Someone alert Dr. House.

Think about all the outright experimentation that has been done on people with CFIDS and Fibro over the years...and wait.
