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 other tests should be done for systemic lupus erythematosus?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a disease of the nervous system, while lupus is a disease of the immune system. These two diseases are not of the same type, nor are they the same disease. After a recurrence of epilepsy, it is necessary to use antiepileptic drugs promptly for long-term treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence and minimize brain damage. During treatment, liver function tests should be conducted regularly based on the medication being used.
