An FDA advisory panel is considering today if they will recommend Benlysta for FDA approval. You may want to do a quick search for up-to-date information. I read that there were some concerns that there were some side effects resulting in depression and suicide, but many of those involved in the trials were also taking antidepressants.

I hope that it’s approved and my wife gets a chance to try this.

If you get any additional information, please post it in the comments.
