5. Maintain good rest: Good rest can help reduce the fatigue and discomfort caused by the disease. Patients should try to ensure adequate sleep and rest time.

6. Pay attention to joint protection: Patients should avoid maintaining the same posture for a long time, pay attention to keeping the joints warm and massage, and avoid excessive use or pressure on the joints.

7. See a doctor regularly: Patients should see a doctor regularly to check their condition and receive treatment and care according to the doctor's recommendations.
