Benlysta Preauthorization Denied; Pain Meds That Help Lupus?

I have lupus and a lot of drug allergies. People with lupus normally have a lot of drug allergies most. One of mine is anything with sulfa. Gabapentin has a sulfa component to it in the inert ingredients.
Also if you do not know garlic is a trigger for lupus.
I am very limited what I can take and tolerate. The last medication I tried broke me out in hives for three days.

@artemis1886 I, too, am allergic to sulfa, and I have to be very careful. Recently, I had a colonoscopy, where the preparation fluid had some sulfa in the ingredients, but the Doc insisted that I have the colonoscopy! So, the lining of my colon inside became inflamed, and it hurt! Oh well! I’ll never have another one.
