What is the treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus?
Hi All the answers so far are giving you the correct answer. Our usual first treatment is anti malarials which calm the immune system, after that we may progress to steroids if the anti malarials don’t work and after that more agressive treatment is chemotherapy. Lupus can be controlled or at least helped by diet & exercise. We clinically trialled the low GI diet with much success – lots on the web about that – and also exercise – whatever you feel you can do. I personally have systemic lupus and control mine with the low gi diet and exercise (I go to the gym) and I take no drugs whatever. If you have more questions please feel free to contact our nurse online who can help. http://lupus.org.uk/onlinenurse.
