It’s never too late for a lupus patient!

  People think lupus is very scary, but as I specialize in treating this disease, it is never too late to treat lupus. We have repeatedly seen patients whose kidney function has been severely damaged or even need dialysis, and after professional treatment and regular follow-up, the patients have been discharged from dialysis and their kidney function has improved significantly. For lupus patients, I am often encouraging them that it is never too late and don’t give up.  Of course, patients must be asked to do the following: First: patients should go to a reliable hospital as early as possible after discovering their condition. Hormone therapy is still the basic drug for this disease, do not expect to control your condition without hormones, compare the possible side effects, the consequences of not using hormones to control your condition in time are more terrible, competent doctors will pay attention to the selection of hormones as quickly as possible A competent doctor will choose hormones to control the disease as quickly as possible and then reduce the dosage. For many lupus also need to choose other medications, hydroxychloroquine is a very good cost effective drug, especially to prevent its relapse after remission is more important, there are many classic drugs for lupus treatment, but it must be the most scientific individualized treatment based on your condition, therefore, it is really recommended that you go to a reliable specialist for treatment, at least a university hospital.  Second: it is also important to follow the doctor’s instructions regular review, do not look for excuses such as far away, no money, well, etc., the disease is your own, you are not a specialist, the doctor is not worse than you today to come to a follow-up, but, for you, the follow-up is too important.  Thirdly, you must participate in normal social life, normal daily activities and lead a normal life, only in this way, you will not be reminded that you are a patient, you are a person who is unlucky, and only in this way, you can actively carry out emotional and psychological guidance, a healthy and positive emotional state is sometimes more important than drug treatment.
