I wonder if an anti virus medication would help, like even a anti med that control hbv flairs maybe not so good example but best i could think of in the moment. Any one taking anything like this, know, any medical peeps on here have any comments, ideas? Thanks much

As far I know, no anti-virus will work. Lupus is an auto immune disorder. What this mean is, your healthy cells is attack I ng other healthy cells. Your immune system is failing, thus it attacks anything that looks good and yummy.

Lupus.org was a big help. Plus it's your immune system not a virus that's doing all this
