A Breakthrough Drug

There hasn't been a new medication for Lupus in 50 years.  It was announced today on the morning national news that now we have one - Benlysta.  What wonderful news!  I had read about Benlysta in a Johns Hopkins Medical paper about two months ago.  It sounds very promising.  It is an injectable; not an infusion drug.  I'll have to mention it to my doctor and see what he knows.

  1. I saw that on the Today Show and Dad said that you had seen it. That is great news. They didn't saw much about it, but I hope it can help.
