In the concept of many people, the aches and pains around the body when the weather changes or when it is cold are rheumatism, and some people inappropriately divide rheumatism into “rheumatism” and “rheumatoid”. After some people have the symptoms of joint pain, they encounter some unprofessional doctors who arbitrarily diagnose them as “rheumatism”, resulting in misdiagnosis or omission. Some people seek treatment from charlatan doctors for a long time and do not go to regular hospitals, resulting in the loss of confidence in the treatment of people and money. Misconceptions about rheumatism may be caused by the vague understanding of the disease in traditional medicine, as well as the lack of advanced technology, thus naming ambiguity. Rheumatic diseases in modern medicine are a large group of diseases that mainly affect the joints, muscles, bones and soft tissues around the joints. It includes rheumatoid arthritis, systemic vasculitis, spondyloarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dry syndrome and so on. The common feature of these diseases is that they can present with swollen joints with pain, or redness and swelling. The main causative mechanism is the disorder of the immune system, rather than the “wind” and “humidity” that many people think is the cause. The immune system is the equivalent of the body’s “army”, which, under normal circumstances, plays the role of defense against external bacteria and other harmful substances “invasion”. In a disease state, the immune system can turn to attack its own tissues, similar to an “internal disorder”, resulting in the onset of various rheumatic diseases. Common symptoms of rheumatism include: fever, rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, vulvar ulcers, reticular bruising, Raynaud’s phenomenon, joint pain, muscle pain, muscle weakness, proteinuria, hematuria, unexplained white blood cell, red blood cell, platelet reduction, unexplained liver function impairment, etc. Once the symptoms of rheumatism appear, you should go to a regular hospital in time to avoid delaying the disease. According to the principle of rheumatism, its treatment should not only relieve the symptoms, but also treat the causes of the disease, “treat both the symptoms and the root cause”, and regulate the disordered immune system. Special attention is paid to the treatment of rheumatism needs to be standardized, do not take some immunity-enhancing drugs at will, and make things awkward. With the continuous development of modern medicine, the treatment of rheumatic diseases is constantly enriched, and the effect of most rheumatic diseases is obvious, the disability rate is significantly reduced, and the quality of life of patients has been improved. Therefore, there is no need to talk about “rheumatism” at all.
