Is there a tablet that can replace the Penidure 12 lakh injections? I've been taking these injections since I was 5 years old, and I'm curious if there's an alternative.

I'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 experiencing sores in my mouth and pain in my lower limbs. Last year, I had sores in my mouth which were followed by sores on my genital area and similar pain in my lower limbs. Could this be Behet's disease, or might it be something else? I'm really concerned and would appreciate your guidance.

It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of Behcet's disease, a rare autoimmune condition that can cause mouth sores, genital sores, and inflammation in the blood vessels. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can manage the symptoms with medications like colchicine for mouth sores and pain relief for lower limb pain.
