"It has changed my life. I have SLE which affects mostly my joints, skin, and energy levels. I have been on belimumab for nearly 2 years now and I am so much more functional. My lupus facial rash resolved and hasn’t returned. My joints still hurt in the morning and after sitting still for a while, but I am not seeing swelling and redness anymore. My fingers are permanently swollen but less sore than before. Most importantly, my labs have been normal for the past year, and my energy levels are so much better. I was receiving monthly infusions but I have just switched to the home autoinjector, which makes my life easier."
