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. I am wondering if systemic lupus erythematosus has already caused organ damage. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Lupus causes organ damage primarily due to the use of many antiviral drugs to suppress the disease's progression. It can also be treated with corticosteroid drugs or by using adrenaline and autoimmune preparations. Lupus may lead to a series of injuries in joints, bones, the skin, the circulatory system, and other organs. This damage is irreversible, and the possibility of complete recovery is not very high.
