Hi Everyone. After two years of Benlysta, today my rheumy said I could stop. As you know I've been sick in bed for months. I recently went to my dermatologist for small nodules on my palms/arms and she said it was a virus probably from the Benlysta. After reading my last two lab reports I've been thinking that my lymphocytes (white blood cells) were getting terribly low and that could be making me sick. I can't say my rheumy agreed, but his PA did. She talked with him and he came in and said, " let's stop the Benlysta." Yea!!
