I'm really worried about my dad. His hands and feet swell up if he's sitting for too long, and it doesn't seem like they return to normal the way they used to. We're considering looking into ESR levels but could really use some advice on that. Also, are there specific foods he could eat that might help to get his ESR back to normal?

View allI'm Meenakshi, I'm 22 and from Chennai. I've been dealing with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for over two years now. I've been on tablets for more than a year and a half, but it seems like they're not really working for me, and things might be getting worse. I've recently started on injections. Could you guide me to a doctor who has good experience with SLE? I'm really hoping to get some advice on what to do next.

I'm worried I'm becoming addicted. Are there other medications or ways to manage this pain and help my mind so I can have a better day-to-day experience without being dependent?

It's essential to consult a doctor before taking any medication, especially if you're concerned about heart health or erectile dysfunction medication side effects.
