I have been getting sick constantly lately and it is taking longer to get better. It probably has to do with the Benlysta weakening my immune system but I need to do something to boost it. Everyone tells me their opinions but I would like to know what you guys do to boost your immune systems and what/if vitamins you take.
My Dr prescribed folic acid. He also has me take over the counter L-Lysine & a multivitamin. I also take vitamin D3.
Take care!

Just curious if anyone has used any collagen powders or supplements and if you noticed any benefits? Any reason not to that you know of?
I’ve taken it for two years, it has helped with my hair loss. I put it in my coffee.
I want to try supplements to lose some pounds I’ve gained since I’ve been diagnosed. I don’t want to get too heavy, I know my rheumatologist told me to eat healthy but I feel like that’s not enough for me.
I'd avoid any diet pills, for sure, Neek. Good luck.
Vitamin D3 2000 IU daily helps reduce autoimmune activity. Good luck!
