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 I treat lupus?Doctor's answer:
It is an autoimmune disease that involves multiple organs of the body system. Its clinical manifestations are complex and severe physical and mental damage, and the treatment methods should also vary with the changes in the disease. When using hormones, close attention should be paid to adverse reactions such as infection, hypertension, diabetes, gastrointestinal ulcers, osteoporosis, and aseptic osteonecrosis. These can be treated with medication. On a daily basis, avoid eating raw, cold, greasy, and spicy foods that are irritating. At the same time, pay attention to local hygiene and cleanliness to avoid infection. In terms of diet, it is best to stick to light foods, eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink appropriate amounts of boiled water to help expel toxins from the body.
