Patient's question:
Suffered from illness for 5 years, leg, arm, and shoulder pain, weakness. Treated by Wu Yingping for 1 year, showed improvement but with significant side effects and slow progress. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: showed improvement. What kind of help is desired: wants to be treated using umbilical cord blood.Doctor's answer:
Overall treatment measures and drug therapy are similar to systemic lupus erythematosus. Most patients respond well to corticosteroid treatment, especially in the early stages of the disease. Mild patients are often treated with salicylates, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antimalarial drugs, or very small doses of corticosteroids, which can effectively control the condition. Patients with severe involvement of major organs typically require larger doses of corticosteroids. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Can mixed connective tissue disease be treated?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
