Presenting as dry eyes and dry mouth, Sjogrenโ€™s syndrome is an autoimmune disease where the tear and salivary glands are attacked by the bodyโ€™s white blood cells.

While Sjogrenโ€™s syndrome may not be curable, it can still be treated and managed well.

Artificial tears and certain mouthwashes are commonly used to address the abnormal dryness of the eyes and mouth. In cases where dry eyes worsen, punctal plugs may be inserted to keep the eyes lubricated.

Depending on the severity of symptoms, prescription medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or immunosuppressants may also be used to boost saliva production and alleviate specific complications and systemwide symptoms.

If you have been experiencing symptoms such as dry eyes and dry mouth, seek treatment advice from a rheumatologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ

While rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are both common forms of arthritis that cause joint pain and stiffness, there are differences between the two conditions.

An autoimmune condition where the bodyโ€™s immune system attacks the joints, resulting in chronic inflammation and loss of function in the joints.

Unlike osteoarthritis which tends to target specific and localised joints, RA can affect multiple joints around the body simultaneously.

An experienced rheumatologist can provide an accurate diagnosis and assessment to work out a personalised treatment plan.

Scleroderma refers to the overproduction of collagen that results from the bodyโ€™s immune system attacking and destroying healthy body tissues by mistake, causing patches of dry and hardened skin on the hands.

Even though scleroderma is not infectious or cancerous, over time, the condition can progress to impair the functioning of other vital internal organs such as the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.

Thankfully, with early detection and treatment, scleroderma can be well managed. Targeted treatments like steroid medications can ease symptoms and prevent further complications.

Should you notice signs and symptoms of scleroderma, seek medical advice from a rheumatologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ

If you find yourself experiencing a sudden onset of intense joint pain, swelling and stiffness, particularly at your big toe, chances are you might be dealing with a gout flare-up.

Gout is a form of arthritis triggered by high levels of uric acid in the blood, resulting in the accumulation of urate crystals in the joint.

When left untreated, gout can greatly limit joint mobility and cause permanent joint damage.

For prompt treatment, schedule a consultation with our rheumatology clinic at ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ.

As a disease with over a hundred variations, arthritis refers to the inflammation of one or multiple joints, which can cause joint pain and stiffness that worsen over time.

Some individuals are more likely to develop arthritis due to factors like age, gender and genetics; but thankfully, the risks can be well managed by making appropriate healthy lifestyle changes.

If you are at an increased risk of arthritis, seek a detailed risk assessment and diagnosis by a rheumatologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ

His choice in pursuing this path was a decision largely driven by the desire to help his loved ones who were afflicted with severe illnesses.

This personal experience also led him to specialise in the field of rheumatology, which encompasses various arthritic and autoimmune diseases that can be severely debilitating.

Spondyloarthropathy is a family of autoimmune diseases characterised by chronic joint pain, swelling and inflammation in the lower back.

Symptoms of this condition usually develop before the age of 45, yet many tend to downplay the condition or confuse the signs with other types of pain.

However, when symptoms worsen, prompt assessment is necessary to facilitate early treatment.

With early treatment, this helps prevent disease progression and complications. Treatment of spondyloarthropathy involves the use of painkillers to relieve pain and swelling, or disease-modifying drugs and biologics to help inhibit inflammation.

Should you be experiencing any of these symptoms, seek help from an experienced rheumatologist. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ

Although lupus is an autoimmune disease that has no known cure, there are still effective ways to help those afflicted with the condition lead healthier and more comfortable lives.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a form of arthritis that is closely linked to psoriasis, which not only causes joint inflammation but also red and scaly skin rash.

There are 5 types of PsA:

๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ
The most common type of PsA, where joints on both sides of the body are simultaneously affected.

๐—”๐˜€๐˜†๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ
A milder form of PsA that involves different joints on each side of the body.

๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น
This causes inflammation and stiffness near the ends of fingers and toes, with white spots on nails that are pitted and lifted.

๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜†๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜€
Presents with pain and stiffness in the neck and spine.

๐—”๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—บ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€
The most severe type of PsA that deforms and destroys small joints at ends of fingers and toes.

Regardless of type, PsA can be treated with prescribed medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs to alleviate symptoms and minimise joint damage.

For consultation with a rheumatologist experienced in treating PsA, reach out at ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ.

Rheumatic conditions are diseases that affect the joints and connective tissues, including various kinds of arthritis and autoimmune diseases.

According to A/Prof Leong, autoimmune diseases have no cures but tend to settle down over time. Treatment to alleviate symptoms must be done aggressively to mitigate the overall damage.

With proactive and targeted intervention, symptoms can be effectively brought under control, enabling patients to cope better with their condition and achieve an improved quality of life.
