Atabrine Drug

Updated

I AM 48 YEARS OLD AND HAVE SYSTEMIC LUPUS. ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO IN SAN DIEGO, MY LUPUS DR. PUT ME ON A MIRACLE DRUG CALLED ATABRINE. THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT WAS IT MADE ME TURN A LITTLE YELLOW, UT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT! I BECAME WELL ENOUGH TO GET MARRIED AND I FELT BETTER THAN I HAD SINCE I WAS DIAGNOSED WHEN I WAS 19. NOW, HOWEVER, I AM IN DESPERATE NEED FOR IT AGAIN BUT I LIVE IN WISCONSIN AND MY LUPUS DR. HASN'T EVEN HEARD OF IT. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. HE LOOKED ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID IT NO LONGER IS AVAILABLE, AND THAT DEVISTATES ME BECAUSE I AM SO ILL RIGHT NOW I ONLY WEIGH 94 LBS. ON A GOOD DAY. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? PLEASE?

This seems to be a fairly recent development, you aren't the first person to post about not being able to obtain this any longer.

Have you spoken to your doctor about what other treatment options you have available to try?

In the past 20 years, there have been some great new options made available.

Here's a link to a website: Lupus Foundation of America Click Here

They can probably help with information for both you and your doctor.
