I have been receiving Benlysta Infusions treatments since January 2015 & has seen positive results since starting.
If you are on it, do you see any difference in your health - positive or negative?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I've been on benlysta 6 mnths now. With daily prednisone my flares aren't as often and my pain is more controlled. The plaqenil and arava did nothing for me so Dr suggested this. Its an all day thing where I'm at BC so many of us need it and only so many do the infusions in smaller areas like mines. Its depressing going but I also find it makes me grateful that I have what I have and not something worse. Good luck with the infusions and good health to you.

Im to begin Benlysta in two weeks. My prednisone/Imuran/plaquenil were no longer holding me either. I flare every 7-10 days now. And the side effects from plaquenil are putting me in danger. So we are going on Bliss. What specifically have ithers seen improvements in and to what degree!

What is Benlysta infusions? What was happening with your Lupus that your Dr. felt this was a treatment he felt would be good for you?

I've been on Benlysta for over a year and yes it has helped. I do get sick still after the infusion but I see a change.
