Not a whole lot I guess you go to the place where it's being held you take
their drugs they have run you through a few tests I would assume and then
you write down symptoms that might occur during the medications and
anything that has been going with your body any rashes or anything changing

There aren’t too many for Chronic Cutaneous Lupus. The ones I did find were in other states. One in Richmond, VA had ended last year and who know when another will be.
