Patient's question:
Giant cell arteritis and rheumatic polymyalgia, how are these two diseases treated? My wife is currently suffering from both of these diseases. She is experiencing severe chest pain, all-over body pain, constant fatigue, and a poor appetite. Please help our family, doctors.Doctor's answer:
Giant cell arteritis and rheumatic polymyalgia, these two diseases are autoimmune disorders, requiring treatment with anti-autoimmune methods. Adrenal corticosteroids or immunosuppressants can be used to suppress autoimmune responses, reduce autoantibodies, and decrease the release of inflammatory cells and mediators. Currently, for the condition of gastritis, it is necessary to protect the gastric mucosa and use blood-activating drugs for treatment.
