Good morning,

Has anyone had to have infusion because of their lupus flair up ? And did it work? I'm so fed up of being like this 😯

Hi djsema. I have read a few messages on instagram and in online forums from people who have, and most seem to agree that there was an improvement after infusion.

Like anything else, what works for one may not work for the other, but you won't know until you try...

Hope you get some relief soon x

Hi djsema ,

Do you know what type of infusion you have been offered? Are you currently on any other treatment?

If you need more information about lupus and the skin, we have a booklet which you can read and download on our website at lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Good morning,

Mr Howard thank you so much for the web site information it's very helpful. At present the medication that I'm talking is hydroxychicoroquine ( 1 tablet one day and two the next every day ) and prednisone 6 tablets because of the severe flare of of the skin. I'm waiting for a phone call from the doctor to find out what infusions I'm going to have.
