This will be very exciting news for all that suffer from this nightmare of a disease. There is another new medication coming out of Europe the UK named Lupuzor!!! It is "neck and neck" with Benlysta that is going onto the FDA and should be approved by hopefully early to mid 2010! They both began their clinical trials about the same time, and are now entering approval like here is is the FDA, and the UK also has their own entity that monitors and gives the okay for medications to be released to the general public.
I know of a couple of other ones that are now beginning, one I believe is in Dallas. I have thought about checking into it to see if I might qualify.
Here are some URL's where you can read the information on the clinical trials etc.
I am hoping, wishing, praying, cross my toes, fingers, and asking everyone else around me, family and friends, plus our church, my Mom's church have us all on prayer lists. When I say all, I have put everyone of us here in the group on those prayer lists, trying to have faith to know we that are in dire need of another phase of medication for Lupus, will be blessed this coming New Year! (In other words, I have given the group name, so that all in entirety that belong as members are on the list, for all we are suffering from)

Blessings and Happy Holidays to all... I realize we are all struggling and juggling with the holidays, the economy, work, lack of work, job loss, the rising expense of everything, losing homes... etc... so I realize many of us, like myself do not always have the time to post... but all of you are in my heart and prayers daily...
A Huge hug to all, Rhia
