SLE Lumpus Symptoms

SLE Lumpus Symptoms

Our next few posts will focus on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a complex autoimmune disease. Instead of protecting the body, the immune system mistakenly starts targeting healthy tissues. In this way, the body begins attacking itself and gradually damages its own organs.

 Diagnosis of SLE Lumpus

Diagnosis of SLE Lumpus

We are discussing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and in the last post, we learned that if the common symptoms of SLE are not being seen, we may still suspect an autoimmune disease or SLE. Apart from this, some features are very typical of SLE, such as complete hair loss on the head, marks on the feet, or the butterfly rash on the face. There are many tests available to diagnose SLE, which your rheumatologist may prescribe, such as ANA, dsDNA, ESR, CRP, C3, C4 levels, etc. These tests detect autoantibodies in the body. A rheumatologist prescribes and interprets these tests properly to diagnose the disease accurately.

The Importance of Vitamin D for Arthritis Patients

The Importance of Vitamin D for Arthritis Patients

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient, especially crucial for individuals with arthritis. What makes vitamin D so vital? It plays a key role in helping the body absorb calcium, which strengthens bones and supports the proper functioning of muscles and nerves. Beyond this, vitamin D boosts the immune system, aiding in the defense against harmful organisms like bacteria and viruses. Additionally, an optimal level of vitamin D can modulate the immune system, reducing autoimmunity, which is particularly beneficial in managing autoimmune diseases such as arthritis.

Symptoms of SLE/Lumpus

Symptoms of SLE/Lumpus

Our post today is about arthritis of the back, specifically Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). It is crucial to be aware of this condition because it is one of the most commonly missed types of arthritis. Just two days ago, a young man brought his mother to me for treatment of arthritis. The young man himself had difficulty walking and his back was completely stiff. Despite consulting many doctors, his condition had gone undiagnosed. He was a classic case of Ankylosing Spondylitis. There are numerous similar cases where typically young men, often very young, suffer from arthritis of the back but remain undiagnosed. Therefore, raising awareness about this condition is vital.

Building Strong Bones to Prevent Osteoporosis

Building Strong Bones to Prevent Osteoporosis

In this post we will discuss how to build strong bones for ourselves and our children to avoid diseases like osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by brittle bones. In women, bones typically start to weaken after age 50, and in men, after age 65. During this process, bone mass decreases, making the bones fragile and prone to fractures even with minimal trauma. In some cases, bones can become so weak that they fracture without any trauma at all.

Rheumatoid arthritis requires ongoing management. Many medicines are used to achieve remission. When starting treatment, steroids are often included as they are effective and help control the disease quickly. Rheumatologists use steroids for a limited time to minimize side effects.

Diet for Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Diet is very important in managing rheumatoid arthritis. Inflammation can be controlled through diet, while eating the wrong foods can increase inflammation in the body and joints. It's important to note that 20% of arthritis patients are sensitive to certain food groups. Foods like gluten, rice, meat, or pulses may immediately increase inflammation in some patients. These foods should be completely avoided if they trigger symptoms.
