French guy suffering of Polychondritis & Gougerot Sjogren

Year Condition Began: 2


Today I am 52, the Relapsing Polychondritis has been diagnosed 2 years ago after 2 years of strange pain (several diseases were evoked: Lupus, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome).
So far, the polychondritis for me means pains and fatigue, but without atrophy. The Goujerot (which is another autoimmune disease), is translated by a dry mouth and eyes.
My treatment against the Polychondritis consists mainly of corticoids (7 mg/day) and Tocilizumab (1 injection a month).

If you read French, we have a web site in France, dedicated to the Polychondritis, where I have made a full presentation of myself and follow up of my diseases and its symptoms:
