I have lupus nephritis and we're hoping this stops it from progressing any further and to get me off of prednisone, which I've been on for YEARS. I'm not sure if I like it yet or not, haven't noticed too many changes yet and haven't been able to taper down on prednisone yet. It makes me very fatigued and nautious for the first week after getting the infusion and I've lost alot of hair, I also recently skipped my period and have been having a lot of hot flashes.

I took this medication for six months becauseof a severe case of Lupus. This medicine caused extreme nausia, hair loss, and fatigue. My hair eventually grew back brown, when my original color was blond. It did not cause reproduction problems. my wife became pregnant three years after my treatment. Overall, it was a success. No lupus flairs for almost three years.
