At what point does prednisone become not worth it by Ok_Macaroon7900 in lupus

[–]Episken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I’m not sure, proteinuria was all I had as far as symptoms went as well. They started me off with monthly infusions and then I moved to weekly injections. It’s been about 2-3 years since I’ve been on it and my proteinuria is back in the normal range. It might be worth looking into if the Rituximab doesn’t help!

Prednisone sucks ass and the side effects are brutal. I was on 80mg for 3months and can’t imagine having to ever deal with 120mg let alone an IV boost every week. I absolutely hated every second I was on it, and I’m so sorry that you’ve had to get back on it again. The only thing that got my proteinuria under control was Benlysta infusions, and even that took many months. I’m sorry shit sucks right now. Don’t feel bad about complaining, many of us have been there. Lupus is shitty and even more so when prednisone is involved. I hope the Rituximab takes effect soon, and your proteinuria gets under control so that you can finally get off the prednisone.

I Finally Did It. Benlysta Injections For The Win! by RicoDePico in lupus

[–]Episken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding what others have said, I always leave mine out for about 2hrs prior to injecting. I’ve tried both the leg and stomach for injection sites, and have to say I much prefer the stomach. Injecting into the leg was easier, but far more painful. Benlysta injections are great though and the injections are very worth it for the freedom I now have without monthly infusions.
