I was originally on it about 4 months, my rash cleared completely. Went off of it due to doctor issues and my rash returned worse than ever. I have been back on Benlysta about 9 months now. Not only is my rash gone again, but all of my blood levels have returned to normal for the first time since diagnosis. It was prescribed by my rheumatologist. I was started on other meds that didn't work before I was allowed to start on the infusions thanks to insurance.

Great stuff! I love it. It's the only thing that made my rash go away and I have so much more energy when I'm on it

Hi!! Is this medicine to take by mouth or cream?. I have been having rash around my mouth and nose is horrible so dermatologist prescribed triamicine but once I stop the rash come back. Now I'm using Elidel and is working but after some day the rash start again. Elidel is good for the black spots cause by Plaquinil, thanks God no more black spots. Digestion are welcome. Thank you!!
