systemic lupus erythematosus
"I started this med as I have both RA and Systemic Lupus.  It did nothing for me and we added Methotrexate, still no benefit.  Added Enbrel, no better.  My eyesight was beginning to  fail so I stopped all of them.  My weight ballooned up by 25lbs!!  I have found no mainline meds to help and had to turn to Traditional Chinese Medicine for relief.  Works great for me.  I am still hoping to find something in the regular vein of meds to help and not hurt me.  My insurance will not cover the help of the Traditional Chinese Medicine that is helping.  What's up with that?"
