How Can Rheumatoid Arthritis And Lupus Be Treated?
Recently diagnosed with RA and Lupus. I have been fighting to stay awake unless personally interacting with some one. As a home health nurse, that drive between patients can be difficult. Have been known to fall asleep at the wheel and don t want to experience that again. Not old enough to retire, no doctor I have spoken to is willing to help. How can you help ?

Hello,
It's an autoimmune disorder where the rheumatoid arthritis is mainly involving joints and the systemic lupus erythematosus involve any organ in the body. So treatment will be immunosuppression with painkillers and symptomatic management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
