Need Treatment For Lupus
I am about to start Benlysta for my lupus and I am scared to death. would it be easier to get a port and have them administered that way opposed to being stuck everytime i have to go? I also must get blood work every month and only have two good veins left in my body.

hello,
i dont think there is anything to worry.it is a proven drug for lupus.
there should not be any problem regarding veins as the veins will heal by the time of a repeat infusion.
