Source: ‘I’ve never been this good’ – revolutionary immune reset puts lupus in remission – BBC News
An experimental treatment that resets a malfunctioning immune system has put the disease lupus into remission in early UK trials.
Experts say the approach could potentially treat similar disorders including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
One of the first patients, Katie Tinkler, said she had “never been this good” since being diagnosed 30 years ago.
She once struggled to walk with her children, but can now ski and is off all lupus medication. The disease, which affects around 50,000 in the UK, sees the immune system attack the body.
