Hi there,

My rheumatologist has recently talked to me about a drug called benlysta or belimunab. I'd like to know if anyone has already taken this drug and I'd like to ask for your opinion on it, cause I've never heard of it before and don't know what to expect.

Thank you fellow-sufferers!

Hi, I'd also like to know more about this medication, especially about its side effects, caus I've heard they are quite numerous.

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
