New Lupus Med - Acts on B-cells - Just FYI

[August59]

Saw this on the noon news and I thought I had seen that some of the PR forum members had Lupus. It works on the B-Cells in some matter. Just FYI

interesting, so probably works the way the scandinavian docs who treat cfs with B cell depletion therapy. There seems to be more options opening up for cfs like arv's, immune modulators and B cell depletion therapy, i just hope it filters through to cfs people everywhere soon. thanks for that august59.

cheers!!!

I noticed when I saw this on the news scroll last night that it mentioned this was the first new medication for Lupus since the 1950's?!?!? That is a long time!
