Patient's question:
I started noticing acne symptoms about two years ago, and sometimes my joints would ache a bit, but I never paid much attention. This year during a health check-up, I found that my white blood cells and platelets were low. The doctor said I have an autoimmune disease. How is autoimmune disease treated? Are there any treatment options?Doctor's answer:
Rheumatic autoimmune diseases are actually connective tissue diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sj?gren's syndrome, etc. The main manifestations are repeated fever, joint pain in the limbs, hepatosplenomegaly, etc. This is a general concept. We need to identify which one it is. Treatment measures mainly include hormones and antipyretic and analgesic drugs. This disease can be controlled and stabilized through effective medication, and patients can live like normal people.
