My wife was diagnosed SLE during second pregnancy August 2020 but dint get proper medication. 3 months After giving birth she underwent Peri Cardiac fluid extraction in March 2021. She suffered like anything and We lost all the hope of her well being. I came through DIVISHA clinic in Google. First consulted doctor in feb 2022. SLE symptoms were unbearable 24 hr urine protein was more than 4 gms. Most of the doctors suggested for biopsy. But Vijay sir treated us so well, without any biopsy by only his medicine and instructions her 24 hrs urine protein is 0.01gm which is completely normal by sept 2023. We r blessed with his treatment. Very patience in listening to patients condition and his words gave us a hope..
