Frequently Asked Questions
What are the types of Rheumatological diseases?
Under the umbrella term ‘arthritis’, there are over 30 inflammatory rheumatic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout, scleroderma, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, spondylarthritides, polymyalgia rheumatica, and several forms of systemic vasculitis (including giant cell arteritis). It also includes the most common form of arthritis, known as osteoarthritis, which results in a breakdown of bone and cartilage in joints due to over use.
Who is a Rheumatologist?
Rheumatologists are responsible for diagnosing and treating over 200 rheumatic conditions with complex and powerful medications and need the care of experts such as rheumatologists who specialize in the use and management of these medications
How can Rheumatic conditions affect you?
Is there treatment for auto immune rheumatic diseases?
Yes, surely. Fortunately, if timely recognised and treated adequately, these diseases can be very well controlled to normalcy. But treatment cannot be stopped soon after disease control. Newer treatments like biologic agents could be used to control severe disease in an effective way. It is very important that treatment for these diseases are started by a rheumatologist who has an indepth knowledge of immunological diseases.
What is the cost of poorly treated rheumatic conditions?
With the amount of working days lost due to musculoskeletal conditions, it is estimated that, if poorly managed, chronic diseases, including rheumatic conditions, can account for as much as 70% of health expenditure. Many patients suffering with rheumatic conditions need a carer to help them accomplish everyday tasks such as cooking or even brushing their hair.
Can I lead a normal life?
Yes surely. With treatment most rheumatic diseases come under control. Regular physical exercises are needed.
