Hi folks thought I would post this pic of the lupins In my garden, they have self seeded all over the path and look beautiful .

An update on me, I’m due to start Rituximab soon as Methotrexate has stopped working on me and my lupus is not under control at all, I’m also on steriods at the moment. I’ve managed to stay out of hospital for last few weeks with my new condition Sclerosing Mesenteritis with the help of Tramodol - the doctors still don’t know how to treat this condition as it’s so rare but they are hoping that the Rituximab will help .

Sorry to read this SV, really hoping that the Rituximab makes a huge difference for you.

Your garden is a delight, so beautiful. Any attempt at growing Lupins here is immediately thwarted by armies of Ninja slugs and snails; we love them but gave up trying a few years ago.

Sending all good wishes to you.

you are so lucky, I cannot grow them, the ants devour each time, so have given up. Good luck with everything else xx

The lupins are looking amazing, very vibrant. I have had several infusions of Rutiximab, and it does give relief. Hoping that this treatment works well for you. x

So sorry you are suffering - and I've not heard of Sclerosing Mesenteritis - is it Lupus linked?

Hopefully the Ritux will help you - it does me . Are you seen in Bath?

Hugs
