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. Is there a connection between systemic lupus erythematosus and migraines?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus generally does not cause migraines unless it has affected the nervous system. Your condition should be checked by a hospital, as it may be due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, or it could be a neurological headache or a migraine caused by dental problems. Maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid excessive psychological stress, and protect yourself from sunlight exposure. It is also best to avoid foods that enhance light sensitivity.
