Most people believe kidneys to be organs solely responsible for the filtration of blood and production of urine. But the truth is that the kidneys perform a host of vital functions in the body which include regulation of blood pressure, blood volume, and blood Ph. Around half of the individuals affected by lupus suffer from kidney problems, and the most affected part is the glomerulus whose function is filtering substances from the blood.

ANA is a type of antibody test usually positive in auto immune disorders some types of arthritis, vasculitis etc. But the titre of the test makes it significant. It can be positive in low titres like 1: 40 or 1: 80 in the general population without any disease as well. So the report has to be clinically corelated and cause for positivity has to be found out to treat it.

Someone actually cannot predict when it is going to worsen but yet there is two aspects of understanding it
1. Your disease activity is well controlled
2 . Your disease activity is not controlled
( what may precipitate it or land uh in 2. is any infections / non compliance with the medication/ ignorance and loss of follow up )
I hope uh are keeping well and best wishes

Chronic respiratory diseases like bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, copd, sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease are vulnerable to repeated infections and multiple hospital visits or admission.

The main reasons for the increased susceptibility is altered lung defence, use of steroids in various respiratory conditions and multiple comorbidities like diabetes and coronary disease.

Patients should ideally be vaccinated for pneumococcal and influenza disease routinely.

Post Herpetic Neuralgia needs aggressive treatment , if she is not responding to routine medical line of treatment she needs pain block in the form of intervention and as you have mentioned she is having other comorbidities so you can think pain block to get rid of pain as there is a limitation in increasing the dose of medication

Supportive treatment is necessary in covid to control the symptoms like fever, cough and cold and to improve immunity by multi vitamins. This is for patients who are stable. People who have moderate to severe covid that can lead to complications have a different line of management. So ye, allopathy has an important role.

Dear lybrate-user ji
greetings!
sle can be a real problem as it arises due to autoimmunity developed in the body. The steroid has given you a temporary relief and now it has a downside on the bones.
I can suggest you ayurveda treatment that might help you on a long term without causing any side effects. Please do come for a private chat with me anytime and I will guide your further on this.
Thanks!
