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 results were not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Can systemic lupus erythematosus be completely relieved?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) currently does not have a complete remission possibility; it is an autoimmune disease. If the diagnosis is systemic lupus erythematosus, it is essential to go to a formal hospital's rheumatology and immunology department for appropriate treatment. If not treated in a timely manner, it can damage internal organs, blood, and other tissues. At the same time, when outdoors, it is crucial not to expose the skin to sunlight. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health and maintain personal hygiene.
