Hi there I'm on subcutaneous immunoglobulin infusions every week is that what you mean ? I've been on infusions for 8 years now. I was having life threatening infections with the lupus . It has calmed it down no end . My. IGG's were very low & wasn't fighting anything. They not sure with me was it the lupus causing it or all the drugs I've had for many years . Being on steroids over 30 years doesn't help also I am a kidney transplant patient . I so hope this is of some help to you signat

All the best to u God Bless

Currently receiving Benlysta monthly infusions. Started taking 8 months ago. Has helped decrease painful joints. Have been able to decrease prednisone.

Hi Fernabell,

If possible, would you be able to share your experiences of having Benlysta by completing our anonymous survey at surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SMCLUP... please?

Thank you.
