Treatment Goals

WHEN

starting treatment

for IgG4-RD,

It's important to discuss your treatment goals with your healthcare team.

Since people experience different symptoms of IgG4-RD, it makes sense that treatment goals may also be different. Setting goals specific to you and keeping track of progress is a helpful way to manage the disease.

Whether you are just starting treatment or are looking into other treatments, you probably have questions.

If you think your symptoms are changing, let your doctors know. It may be a sign that your condition is also changing. But treatment might help.

If you have uncomfortable or troublesome side effects, or maybe you feel like your treatment isn't doing enough, talk to your doctors. They may be able to help by discussing other options.
