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 long can people with systemic lupus erythematosus live?Doctor's answer:
The wolf has a table of lupus, which is an autoimmune disease. Most of them are inherited over generations and related to endocrine and infectious factors. It can also cause specific changes in the skin and mucous membranes, and sometimes joint pain and arthritis. If treated regularly, such as using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to stabilize symptoms, it does not affect life expectancy.
