Lost 62 pounds in one year! The man suffered from oral ulcers that never healed, and it turned out to be a rare disease!

Say one

It's not a big problem but it's a very uncomfortable disease

Mouth ulcers

Almost everyone

I've been tortured by it.

It's obviously a very inconspicuous wound.

But it brought unspeakable pain

As to why it appeared

Eating too spicy food, staying up late, being overworked or under great mental stress

It could be a reason

Many people think that they will be fine after a few days.

However

Sometimes small problems

If you keep on waiting, something big will happen...

Mr. Xu from Sichuan

The body is always strong

One day in May last year

He has an ulcer in his mouth.

I thought it would be fine after a few days, so I didn't take it too seriously.

But in the next few days

This mouth ulcer is so severe

Gradually, my mouth became full of herpes

Open your mouth wide or eat slightly harder food

You will feel a burning sensation

Extreme pain

and

He found that his bite force was not as good as before.

I had to switch to semi-liquid diet

at the same time

Mr. Xu felt chest tightness at night

Frequent coughing at night

Before Mr. Xu became ill

Gradually

His ears started to get stuffy.

The left eyelid also has obvious drooping

In order to cure this aggressive oral ulcer

In this year and a half

Mr. Xu and his wife went to various hospitals

Check up, treat...

But

No treatment was effective

My health is getting worse and worse, but the cause has not been found.

After Mr. Xu became ill

Under pain

Mr. Xu lost weight visibly.

More than 2 years ago, he weighed 150 pounds.

When I was the thinnest, I only weighed 88 catties.

Not long ago

Recommended by a friend

He went to a hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang for treatment.

After the doctor conducted a series of examinations on him

Preliminary judgment

He had multiple organ damage.

Possibly related to rheumatic immune disease

after

Rheumatologist

Mr. Xu was also examined.

And did a physical examination

Upper respiratory tract symptoms are particularly prominent

CT showed transient lesions in the lungs that were not fixed

The weight loss was particularly noticeable...

Symptoms

All point to an autoimmune disease

- Granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Subsequent laboratory tests and imaging studies

This also confirmed the doctor's guess.

After finding the cause

All problems solved

After taking the right medicine, it only took one week

The oral ulcer that had troubled Mr. Xu for three years disappeared.

at the same time

His chest tightness and cough were also significantly relieved.

After more than 20 days in hospital

Mr. Xu recovered and was discharged from hospital
