Rheumatology is still a relatively new field, and there are still relatively few doctors in China who specialize in rheumatology. Until today, many doctors are still telling patients: your anti-O is high, you have rheumatism. There are some so-called doctors who do not know much about rheumatology, but under the banner of “ancestral rheumatism family”, “specializing in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis recipe” and so on, they give treatment plans that delay the disease of many patients. Whenever I encounter such patients, I can only be impatient, in addition to being saddened. But what I can’t stand in my clinical work is not the above problem. What is it? It is that the patients reduce or stop their medication on their own, or even go back to their “ancestral rheumatism family”, and then their disease worsens, relapses, and comes to me again. At this point, what should I say? Therefore, what I tell patients most recently, especially those who are diagnosed for the first time and have set their treatment plans, is that rheumatism is a chronic disease, and the medicine should be taken for a long time and the dosage should be adjusted gradually according to the condition, rather than expecting to reduce or stop the dosage in the short term. Since I often put the words “don’t just stop taking the medicine” on my lips, people who are familiar with me joke that I am becoming Mrs. Xianglin. However, many so-called rheumatism treatment websites and advertisements say that rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other rheumatic diseases can be cured without taking medication for life after taking their medication. What they say is much better than what I say. We can only hope that our patients will see through these people’s scams and consciously believe in science.
