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. What should I do about lupus?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, systemic lupus erythematosus is a multi-system inflammatory disease, primarily caused by vasculitis, which can lead to multiple organ inflammatory conditions such as lupus encephalitis and lupus nephritis in severe cases. It is also difficult to relieve, so it is recommended that patients receive active and early treatment. Oral prednisone tablets or methylprednisolone tablets can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. Participate actively in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
