For Lupus "Since taking this medication, I have not had any flare-ups nor rashes. My fingertips are no longer subject to pain from cold water (I am now able to wash veggies in cold water without pain). Hair loss has been minimized. Chest no longer hurts with deep breaths. Episodes of fatigue issues are almost nonexistent. With the exception of the weekly injection (and additional medication), I am now able to live a mostly normal life."
