  1. Skin care: Avoid exposure to sunlight or excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, reduce sunbathing and take sun protection measures; prohibit alkaline soap and use cosmetics as little as possible; do not dye hair; do not tattoo eyebrows.  2. Prevent infection: Lupus patients have low immunity and are prone to co-infection, so pay attention to protection and prevent colds when seasons change.  3.Reasonable diet: Take a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating food; do not take tonic or vegetarian food blindly; and pay attention to dietary hygiene.  4, to regulate the mood, maintain a good state of mind. Learn to “light” look at life. As “spring breeze attitude, autumn water spirit”.  5, reasonable exercise: reduce strenuous exercise, in order not to feel fatigue is appropriate. Do not overwork, especially mental work, to combine work and rest, pay attention to a reasonable rest, to ensure sleep.  6.Pregnancy at the right time: female patients cannot be pregnant at will. If pregnancy is needed, it should be considered only after the condition has been stabilized for more than six months, while stopping the use of immunosuppressive drugs such as methotrexate, mortification, cyclophosphamide, etc. for more than 6-12 months, and adjusting the treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor, while keeping in touch with the attending doctor during pregnancy.  7.Make more friends: especially fellow patients, we share the same disease, encourage each other and share information to overcome the disease. Keep in touch with your own rheumatologist regularly, and it is best to become friends.
