Besides what you mention,glucocorticoid ,MTX,CTX maybe help.But they all have serious side effects.So you must take them as your doctor tell you.You know,SLE is a chronic and stubborn disease,normative and personal treatments are needed.So do not take medecine according to your fancy or others' advices.Go to the doctor. some advices for daily life:Do have enough rest. avoid sunlinght.Try our best not to catch a cold.do not eat fungus which can evoke your immunication. Hope this will help and you recover soon.:-)
