Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m hurting in various parts of body. I m swelling at times in my legs and both sides of my neck are puffy at times. I do have sharp pains in my knees and arms. I was told 2 years ago that I did test positive for an autoimmune disease but I didn t follow up. my eyesight is also getting worse. I m forgetting things a lot. Please help in what direction I need to go. what is going on with me?
It is one of the autoimmune disorders where connective tissue is grown more than required which is causing you these symptoms.
You need to get investigated thoroughly for the same. It would be better you go to a rheumatologist for the thorough check-up.
And if you get diagnosed with the above, then they will treat you with immune-suppressants which hamper the progression of the disease and the symptoms will get better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Archana
