Fact of the day.....
Symptom activity tends to improve with age
As a person ages, lupus activity –- or the degree of inflammation and auto-immunity present –- typically declines. This may lead to adjustments in treatment (including a reduction in medication).
On the flip side, severity of the disease can increase, which means the sum of your disease activity in the past, including the damage it has caused. This could lead to physical therapy, joint replacements or other non-pharmacological treatments as you age.
