Lupus erythematosis is a chronic auto-immune disease that affects millions of people. Scientists are not exactly sure if lupus is a genetic disease, environmental, or related to lifestyle. Lupus can also be drug induced. It can be very debilitating and can affect joints, blood cells, skin, as well as organs such as the kidneys, heart and lungs. Lupus is usually treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and/or steroids. Now there is a new treatment. This new drug is given IV and costs $3000 per treatment. Is this new medicine really worth the money or is it just another Big Pharma ploy to make money?
