Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus)
in Children and Adolescents
What
about nonmedical drugs and remedies?
It would be great if lupus could just go away with a wave of a magic wand, a
prayer, a vitamin. The problem is
that it will not go away just like that.
People
will offer you advice, sometimes very strongly, suggesting that if you only do
"this" or "that" it will
go away because they heard or saw or read that "this" or
"that" worked for someone else. They
are trying to help you, but you have to think clearly about that unprofessional
advice.
If it seems to make sense, talk to your doctor. Most physicians will not be opposed to trying something harmless provided
you follow the medical advice as well. The
problem occurs when patients reject medical advice, stop taking medications and
become gravely ill.
