Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. How can connective tissue disease be cured?Doctor's answer:
Connective tissue diseases include lupus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, polyarteritis nodosa, giant cell arteritis, and Sj?gren's syndrome, among others. Drug treatment can control the condition very stably in patients. Western medicine can use hormones combined with immunosuppressants, or traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate immune system disorders. In clinical practice, the prognosis for connective tissue diseases is relatively good. So, there's no need to worry too much.
