LUPUS: WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT - SUSAN, 47 YEARS OLD (PART 4) Because lupus is an autoimmune disease, and because it results in inflammatory processes throughout the body, the usual line of treatment involves anti-inflammatory and immune-suppressant drugs. From the most benign anti-inflammatory agents that you can buy over-the-counter to the more powerful corticosteroid and other drugs, there is a wide range of options. Those with the most severe, organ-threatening forms of the disease are treated with powerful chemotherapeutic drugs, similar to those used for cancer patients. Lots of research is going on in the area of drug treatment, with several new drug trials underway around the country and others in the planning stages. Unfortunately, while control of the disease is possible, a cure is not—at least for now. If you are self-treating with over-the-counter pain medicine, be sure your doctor is aware of what you're taking, how much of it, and how often, since there are side effects and risks to even the most common and harmless-seeming agents. In addition to drug treatment for lupus, some experts recommend staying out of the sun, since sunlight triggers symptoms in many patients. You can determine for yourself if sunlight is a problem, and talk to your doctor about how—and how completely—you can avoid it. Dr. Lahita urges his patients whose symptoms are under control to get regular aerobic exercise and to rest adequately and eat well. But for those who are experiencing symptoms, he advises avoiding vigorous exercise, since it can further tax the immune system and weaken the body as it tries to fight the disorder. *281/162/1* General health |
