Diagnosed With Cluster Syndrome. Constant Flu Symptoms, Bruising, Bleeding. How To Put Regular Flares In Remission?

sEVERAL YEARS AGO I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH WHAT ONE CHEMIST/M.D. SPECIFIED AS A "CLUSTER SYBDROME" - NAMELY a combination of Behcet's, Sjogren's and Lupus. I have almosty constant "flu-type" symproms, spontaneous bruising and bleeding (like scratches, they appear mainly on my shopulders, but also my mouth bleeds periodically, especially when brushing my teeth), and i am hyper-allergic to the Australian sun! Is there anything you might suggest that could put the regular "flares" in remission? I also have eye-sight problems, and kidney problems (diagnosed as glomerulo-nephritis by one Dr.) which are worse at night (frequent micturition i think it's called). I am 69 years old. My name is Antoinette. Thank you for your time!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It could be autoimmune disorder in such cases I generally treat the patient on symptomatic way, because permanent remedy is not possible, but of course natural remission is there and we can wait for that till then you can try corticosteroid but it needs close medical supervision, else it gives very good results you can ask your doctor for this as such you have a eye problem then it became very important to have opinion from physician before starting steroid have nice day.
