As a physician, I often encounter patients with many different personalities. Some are obedient, some are blindly optimistic, some are biting off more than they can chew, and so on. But all of these are understandable. But I would like to say one thing, that is, the patient should learn to get along with the disease. 1, do not ask for a cure to break the root of the disease. Patients always ask for a cure to cut off the root of the disease, in fact, this is simply impossible. If that doctor says so, it is absolutely a liar. One patient told me that a professor said that lupus can be cured slowly and eventually without hormones. In fact, this is a lie. Because, for mild lupus, you can not use hormones at all. Temporary disease control is not the same as a complete cure, and it is only a matter of time before a relapse usually occurs after stopping the medication. One relapse is usually accompanied by disease progression. Stopping the medication is more than worth the cost. Only long-time patients will believe the truth of what I say. 2, do not believe in drugs without side effects. Nowadays, in the medical environment, doctors will give patients the side effects of some drugs, and patients always say that it is not necessary. In fact, a drug is three times more toxic, non-toxic is not a drug. The consequences of the disease are definitely greater than the side effects of the drug. Side effects are only a matter of probability and do not occur in every person. Don’t believe that this drug is good, in fact, the most commonly used drugs are the best. A doctor usually does not tell his loved ones to use those expensive drugs first. Patients should see the doctor according to their ability. 3, control the main problem of the disease, but not all the problems. Rheumatic diseases cannot be cured, so it is enough to control the main condition. For example, lupus, a small amount of proteinuria, as long as the kidney function is stable, do not have to pursue perfection to completely eliminate proteinuria; ankylosing spondylitis, occasional, mild pain, as long as it does not affect the activities of large joints, it is not worth using too expensive drugs; rheumatoid arthritis with good methotrexate, the main drug on the line, adequate amount is the key. Of course, it is best to combine it with other slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs. If you know the proper trade-offs, you will save a lot of money. High risk usually leads to high reward. If you’re afraid of this or that, then you’ll have to settle for a low return. There are some disease treatments that can wait and see, and some that cannot be delayed.
