While in the hospital June 08 with GBS my Lupus flared and went to my kidneys. I had 2 once a month infusions before I was able to swallow and switched to Cellcept. After a month a relapsed into both and was put back on the monthly infusions. My 24hr protein count has gone from 8000 to 100 and will continue to have treatments every 3 month for the next year.

I took this in 2003 for breast cancer.
