1, traditional and modern “rheumatism” Many people will think they may have “rheumatism” when they have joint pain when the weather changes, they think it is because of the “wind, cold, damp” From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this is the term for rheumatism or “paralysis” in Chinese medicine. In the third century B.C., the word “Rheuma” in Hippocrates means flow, and after Western medicine was introduced to China, “Rheumatism” was translated as “rheumatism”. Modern rheumatism is a group of diseases mainly affecting joints, bones, muscles, blood vessels and related soft tissues or connective tissues, most of which are autoimmune diseases. The onset of the disease is more insidious and slow, the course of the disease is long, at present in the classification of rheumatic diseases, there are more than 100 kinds of diseases in a broad sense, including infectious, immune, metabolic, endocrine, genetic, degenerative, tumor, endemic, toxic and other causes of rheumatic diseases, common rheumatic diseases are: gout, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus. 2, the secret recipe for rheumatism? As the saying goes, “small prescriptions for big diseases”, most rheumatic diseases have unknown causes, many difficult and complicated diseases, coupled with the discipline of rheumatism is a young discipline, the treatment of drug variety, the lack of specialist doctors, some patients have low compliance, most rheumatic diseases can only be clinically controlled, and can not “root out “Many patients with rheumatic diseases are often complicated, lingering and difficult to heal, coupled with the lack of specialist guidance on medication, or the early stage of the disease because of rheumatic disease misconceptions “anxiously throwing doctors”, looking around for folk recipes, hoping to seek from folk recipes to completely cure rheumatic diseases, our clinical work often There will be patients with some “partial prescriptions, secret recipes” to consult whether it is feasible. Here we will talk about what is a prescription, secretary: most of the prescriptions originated from folk, passed down in the folk, not contained in the official drug or medical canon; secret prescriptions, the ancient name “forbidden prescriptions”, refers to the spiritual prescriptions that are not transmitted. It is undeniable that certain prescriptions and secret methods can indeed play a role in relieving some patients’ joint pain and improving clinical symptoms, and have certain curative effects on some rheumatic diseases. However, it is unscientific and unrealistic to blindly boast that a certain prescription or secret method can cure all diseases and absolutely “break the root”, and it is by no means possible for everyone to be effective with the same side of the same disease. The use of the so-called “secret prescription = panacea” is not a desirable method of treatment. In view of the complexity and prolonged nature of rheumatism, coupled with the fact that most patients are not professional medical personnel, it is difficult to make an accurate evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the prescriptions, therefore, it is not advocated to simply use the prescriptions to treat rheumatism. If you insist on using prescriptions, you need to make the ingredients of the prescriptions clear and recommend taking the drugs under the guidance of a specialist, and closely monitor the changes in your condition and the emergence of drug side effects in the process of taking the drugs. 3, fake “prescription, secret recipe” = “fake medicine” “the world is bustling for profit to, the world is bustling for profit to”, “favorable to start early “, currently there is a class of drugs in society such as “springing up like flourishing”, the treacherous businessmen take advantage of the patient’s eagerness to cure the psychology, playing the “ancestral secret recipe”, “root cure rheumatism Under the guise of “ancestral recipes” and “curing rheumatism” and labeled as “traditional Chinese medicine” and “Tibetan medicine”, they grind prednisone acetate and/or dexamethasone, aspirin, acetaminophen and other pain-relieving drugs into powder and mix them with powdered traditional Chinese medicine, or put them into capsules or pills to make fake medicines. In addition, they can be made into pills to create fake prescriptions, fake recipes and other “fake drugs”. Rheumatism patients using such drugs, the short-term effect is often good, but the long-term harm is huge, “full moon face”, “buffalo shoulder”, diabetes, stomach bleeding, and even life-threatening complications. Patients should avoid using such fake “prescriptions, secret formulas” to delay treatment and cause physical damage and unnecessary economic loss. 4.How to avoid using fake drugs? Through the following “three look a check”, the identification of regular drugs is not difficult. A look at the State Drug Certificate. Where there is no “State Drug Certificate” approval number of the market sales of products, including food, health, consumer or without any approval number of products, are not drugs. Second look at the manufacturer. Genuine drugs are clearly indicated the name of the manufacturer, address, contact number and other information to facilitate consumer inquiries. Three look at the packaging instructions. Genuine drug packaging are above the production date, expiration date, production batch number, drug instructions have the composition of drugs, methods of use, indications, adverse reactions, contraindications and other content. In addition, you need to make online inquiries. Patients can visit the website of the State Food and Drug Administration (http://www.sda.gov.cn/WS01/CL0412/) to check for false “State Drug Certificate” approval numbers. In short, rheumatism patients need to have the right attitude towards medical care, enhance the knowledge of rheumatism, be wary of false propaganda, be wary of medical trusts and drug trusts, do not believe in special drugs or fast-acting drugs, think twice before acting, advocate regular hospital rheumatologists to receive standardized treatment, and wish rheumatism patients an early recovery!
