Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Treatment Options

Symptom Management

Symptom management treatments are any treatment that helps an autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome patient to manage their symptoms. Common examples include over-the-counter painkillers to ease muscle pain or laxatives to assist with constipation. But not all methods for managing symptoms rely on medication, and in some cases, patients may need to make lifestyle changes. For example, many individuals who have autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome also have celiac disease, so they can manage bowel problems by avoiding gluten. Anemia causes many symptoms, so patients might need to take vitamin B and iron supplements to help reduce fatigue and other symptoms related to anemia.
