"I have been getting infusions of Benlysta for about 6 months. I haven't seen any difference in my lupus symptoms, except less severe rashes on my arms. I just contacted my Rheum. because I haven't started any other new drugs, but I have been having weird dreams consistently & exhaustion from lack of good night's sleep. He recommended I skip the next infusion for now."

"I was taking Benlysta for three years. I started with the infusion for about a year. Then I was put on the injection once a week. It does burn a lot the first 6 treatments, but then it eased up a lot. But about 7 months in taking the injectable Benlysta, my legs started to feel very weak and heavy. I told my rheumatologist. She told me to stop it for a few weeks. But I started back on Benlysta. I changed my rheumatologist and stopped taking the drug. But the leg weakness never left. My legs hurt all the time."

"Benlysta has completely changed my life. It’s been almost a year of treatments, and my quality of life is so much better than before. Initially, I was really scared to start the infusions, and I was very nervous about side effects. I still get fatigue, headache, and a bit of nausea for 2 days after my infusions now, but it’s so worth it in exchange for everything I’m able to do with ease now."

"I have spent 10 years from one doctor to another. Finally, I got a rheumatologist who is experienced with lupus at Marietta Memorial in Athens named Melissa Burris. I had nasty lesions all over my face and arms. She suggested I try Benlysta. Thank God, because after only 3 infusions, my skin is amazing. Now I find myself staring in the mirror a lot, admiring how smooth and nice my skin is. I no longer feel embarrassed to go out, and I feel so much better about myself."

"This medication has been a lifesaver for me. Even though I do have some very minor side effects, I wouldn't dare think of changing it!"
