I heard some encouraging news today. Back in November, I wrote about the lack of lupus drugs on the market, and how it's been FIFTY years since any new drugs have been released to specificially treat lupus.
Did you know that the main lupus drug I am taking is actually an anti-malarial drug? It isn't even FOR lupus. And it has some nasty side effects - one of which is possible blindness. Yay.
Anyway, the good news today is that there is a new drug that is successful in clinical trials. This drug is specifically used to treat lupus. That is quite a medical advancement! You can go here or here to read about it.
This, my friends, makes my heart happy.
