so i’m eight weeks into benlysta now and i’ve had some mixed results. the labs are moving in the right direction, anti-dsDNA is down and C3 is climbing back up. but i’ve also got some new issues - Raynaud showed up out of nowhere at the frozen foods section in publix, and the injection site reactions are no joke.
i’ve got a quarter-sized welt from the second dose that’s still healing. morning stiffness is still a thing, 45-50 minutes before my hands work for patient consults. anyone else have this?
i’m trying to get a handle on the payback math for exertion - one good day costs two bad ones, and i need to start planning my weeks around that. has anyone else figured out a way to make that work?
