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. How should I treat immune connective tissue disease?Doctor's answer:
Autoimmune connective tissue disease is a condition where the connective tissues undergo inflammation due to autoimmune inflammation mediation, and it requires treatment with autoimmune methods. Corticosteroids or immunosuppressants can be used, or biologic agents can be employed to suppress the body's autoimmune response, increase autoantibodies, and enhance the release of lymphocytes, thereby suppressing the autoimmune response and reducing the release of inflammatory cells and mediators to control the disease.
