I was inspired to hear about her pregnancy project in rheumatic diseases. Hope you enjoy 😊#EULARTV @lauraandreoli80
@LupusEurope @chriswincup The data discussed in the interview are highly controversial and have been contradicted by newer data on a longer term basis. The general and largely agreed upon idea is that, if possible, #glucocorticoids should be tapered and stopped in systemic #Lupus.
Steroids are one of the most common treatments in lupus. What dose should rheumatologists aim for when #lupus is in remission?
Is it possible to withdraw steroids?
