I also have an autoimmune disease (one that no one's ever heard of) and came down with a staph infection last year. As a result, I spent one week in the hospital and another six weeks in a nursing home on an antibiotic IV.

Please contact your lupus doctor and see how they want to proceed. Staph is nothing to mess around with. In my case, it had gone into the bone.

Best of luck.
