Good news! I'm not sure when this treatment will be available. It is still in the clinical trial stages. It looks very promising and gives us the hope we all need. See the article below:

CAR T-cell therapy is indeed an exciting development in lupus treatment research. This innovative therapy works by modifying a person's own T-cells to fight the disease in a new way. Originally developed for cancer treatment, it's now being studied specifically for lupus patients who haven't responded well to conventional treatments. While still in early clinical trials, this treatment shows promising potential for achieving long-term remission in lupus patients. The therapy involves collecting T-cells from a person, modifying them to produce special receptors that target and destroy specific cells involved in the disease process.

Thanks for the information. I'm going to read up on it and talk with my rheumatologist too.

Clinical trials are available in the US at no cost if you meet the markers, this treatment does include a chemotherapy treatment and does come with initial significant side effect however the overall results are astounding!
