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 lupus be cured?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus is currently incurable; it is an autoimmune disease. Rashes can be effectively controlled with the flexible use of topical corticosteroids under the guidance of a doctor. When necessary, biologic agents can be flexibly used. Patients should relax their minds and maintain a positive mood, which is beneficial for the complete recovery of their condition. Regular physical exercise should be strengthened, and many low-intensity activities can be performed, but high-intensity exercises should be avoided.
