Living With Lupus: Part 1
Hello, its been a couple of days since I have posted. Not to make excuses or anything but I haven’t been feeling all that great. I have said before that I want this to be a real experience with you guys and that this is my life blog. With that being said, Tuesday I went for another Benlysta infusion(that was my fourth infusion) for my Lupus and everything went pretty good for the most part but I did experience some of the side effects the rest of the say and most of the night. I was very sleepy because of all the before meds that they gave me to prevent allergic reactions and I had some nausea and a headache the rest of the day. That night, my headache got worse and turned into a migraine and 1:30 in the morning. Along with that my nausea returned. So I had a pretty hard night and to make things worse I had to get up early the next day and go to work after not getting much sleep.
Overall I do think this drug is helping control the Lupus and I have been feeling better the last couple of weeks. In august I will go see my doctor and will get to evaluate how much progress I have made in the last couple of months.
On an even more positive note I received my debit card from the Benlysta company to help pay for the treatment because believe me they are not CHEAP! I was so happy to hear that we qualified for the financial assistance program that the company offers. If any of you are currently on Benlysta or have been of the drug previously, feel free to leave your comments below on how it affected you. Also if any of you would like some more info on the drug I will add a link to their website you can check it out. This is not a sponosered post in any way. I am just writing about what i am currently going through because this is part of my life and i want this blog to be open to you guys and make you feel like you really know me. Anyways thats my update on my Lupus. Let me know what you guys think about these kind of posts or leave comments below about hard times you are going through.
Talk to you guys soon
