... I have RA and Lupus and not sure if this is an appropriate group for me or not
Is there anyone else in this group that is on cyclophosphamide for treatment other than for cancer?

Yes, I was put on that when I was first diagnosed and in kidney failure. It was used to stop the Lupus from continuing to attack my body. I was only on it for 3 months. I don't know why you would still be taking it if your lupus is under control. I would ask again why your on it. Good luck.

Wow! I'm sorry to hear that. Wish I could give you some better answers. I started seeing a Naturalpath that is trying to remedy my issues by stabalizing my immune system. So far what he's done has worked wonders for me. It's amazing how different Lupus can be with each of us keep your chin up and know we are out here for you
