Lupus erythematosus is a clinically common autoimmune disease and is known as one of the three most difficult diseases in the world. The prevalence in our country is 70.4 per 100,000, with a population of about 1 million people affected. Many patients miss the best time for treatment and delay the disease or even endanger their lives because they do not receive active and effective formal treatment. So how should patients with lupus erythematosus go for regular treatment in the process of seeking medical treatment? First of all, we should choose the right department. Lupus erythematosus easily causes multi-system damage, and some patients go to the relevant departments according to their clinical performance, plus some doctors have insufficient clinical experience, which results in headache doctoring and foot doctoring, and the effect is definitely not good. Lupus is a rheumatic immune disease, so patients should go to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology for consultation, so that they can take less detours. Standardize the use of hormones. The treatment of lupus erythematosus is a long-term and chronic process, especially the hormone cannot be reduced too quickly, but some patients have more concerns about hormone and reduce the dosage quickly without authorization, not knowing that this will easily lead to recurrence of the disease and its activities, and in order to control the disease as soon as possible, they have to increase the hormone dosage again, so that the total accumulated amount of hormone will increase instead, and the adverse reactions will definitely increase. As the saying goes, “speed is not good enough”. Be sure to reduce the dosage under the guidance of a doctor. Do not change doctors frequently. Some patients have high expectations of treatment and are eager for success, so they frequently change doctors and hospitals, going to a Chinese hospital for a while and a Western hospital for a while. Some of them even have doubts about their doctors’ plans and use medicines irregularly. Or when they hear their acquaintances say that someone is “special” or “all-inclusive”, they change their current treatment, resulting in more and more serious diseases. Recently, a female lupus patient in our department was recommended by a friend to find a so-called “retired old expert” specializing in lupus treatment, whose name could not be searched on the Internet, and his homemade medicine could drain out all the hormones from her body, which just met the patient’s psychology. As a result, after two weeks of continuous use, not only were the symptoms not reduced, but the gastrointestinal symptoms were further aggravated, and the patient had to be hospitalized, and the results of the abdominal enhancement CT in our hospital suggested mesenteric vasculitis, which was a manifestation of severe lupus. Do not use health products or drugs without production lot numbers. Recently, a young female lupus patient working for an insurance company had her condition under good control, and then she took a health product without any toxic side effects on the recommendation of her relatives and stopped all her original drugs, resulting in a sudden aggravation of her condition one month later, with clinical manifestations of lupus activities such as erythema all over the body, high fever, joint and muscle pain, oral ulcers and proteinuria, and had to be hospitalized urgently. There was also a female lupus patient who lived in Shangqiu and took a kind of special lupus pill without any batch number locally without taking any other drugs, as a result, after half a year of continuous use, the patient gained weight significantly, her limbs became hairy and her beard grew out, and more seriously, femoral head necrosis appeared. This means that this homemade drug contains glucocorticoids, the specific dose is not clear, long-term use must be a problem. This kind of fake medicine under the banner of health care products or package treatment is really harmful to people. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has many advantages. Chairman Mao said “Chinese medicine is a great treasure trove”. Chinese medicine is profound and profound, focusing on the corresponding of the heaven and man, the identification of evidence to treat. In the acute stage, Western medicine is the mainstay, supplemented by Chinese medicine; in the remission stage, Chinese medicine is the mainstay, supplemented by Western medicine; in the stabilization stage, Chinese medicine is used intermittently to adjust the body, and Western medicine can be gradually stopped. There was a middle-aged female patient with lupus combined with thrombocytopenia, whose platelets dropped to about 2,000 in the acute stage (normal people are 100,000-300,000), and her condition was critical, and she was at risk of bleeding at any time. The patient was satisfied with the recovery to 120,000. After discharge from the hospital, the hormone dosage was gradually reduced, and the patient insisted on taking Chinese herbal medicine to nourish Yin and clear heat. After half a year of continuous treatment, the platelets were normal in the monthly recheck, and the hormones were discontinued with very few adverse reactions. Later, she switched to Chinese herbal medicine pills for consolidation treatment, and her condition has been stable for one year. Another young girl with lupus combined with neurological damage, who was studying in the United States this summer, came back to China for medical treatment after falling ill. The combination of Chinese and Western medicines can help improve the patient’s systemic symptoms and control the disease; at the same time, it can also help reduce the amount of hormones, reduce the toxic side effects of Western medicines, and even stop Western medicines. We found that the incidence of femoral head necrosis is very low in patients who insist on taking traditional Chinese medicine, and the patients’ general symptoms improve better and their quality of life is also very high. Of course, for different stages of lupus or different clinical manifestations of the same stage, the selection of Chinese medicine prescriptions should be changed according to the situation and used flexibly. It is important to go to a regular Chinese medicine hospital to take Chinese medicine.
