Starting Benlysta (belimumab) injections is a big step, and it's completely natural to want to know what others have experienced. Here's what some MyLupusTeam members have shared: Some members reported fatigue as a common experience, especially early on:

- One MyLupusTeam member who switched from infusions to injections noted that the injections were still causing fatigue, happening every week rather than monthly
- Another MyLupusTeam member shared that while the injections increased fatigue, they started seeing positive results — more good days, along with improvements in skin and joints
- Some members reported fewer side effects with injections but also noticed fewer benefits compared to infusions It's worth knowing that Benlysta injections are typically given once a week, so staying on a consistent schedule — same day each week — helps keep the medication working effectively.

Results can take several months to feel, so patience is key! Always let your doctor know if side effects feel unmanageable or if symptoms worsen. 💙
