There is nothing leading woman Dr. Nasha Nensey appreciates more than a smile on a patient’s face. Her work at Fort Bend Rheumatology allows her, with her team, to help create that smile by relieving pain and improving a patient’s function.

“Patients often don’t believe me when I say we can help them,” Dr. Nensey says. “Many of them are in so much pain. But we can help and I love building that bond with them. I have gained so many friends that way.”

Dr. Nensey received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Biology from the University of California, San Diego and her medical training from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. She is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. She serves as an active member of the American College of Rheumatology, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry, and the American College of Physicians.

“I have found my niche,” Lauren says. “Rheumatology allows me to help fit the puzzle pieces together and diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate patients with potentially life-threatening complex autoimmune disorders. This field provides the unique reward of developing genuine relationships with your patients and making a difference in their lives.”

Treating Rare and Painful Diseases

The diseases and conditions treated by the outstanding team at Fort Bend Rheumatology affect a variety of age groups across various organ systems and require an assortment of treatments.

Vasculitis, for example, involves inflammation of the blood vessels. This can cause a narrowing of the vessel which may result in organ and tissue damage. Vasculitis can affect anyone, though some types are more common among certain age groups. Most types require medications to control the inflammation and prevent organ damage.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just your joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. Painful swelling may eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity. In this case, new types of medications have improved treatment options dramatically.

Ankylosing spondylitis can cause some of the small bones in your spine (vertebrae) to fuse. This makes the spine less flexible and can result in a hunched-forward posture. If ribs are affected, it can be difficult to breathe deeply. Ankylosing spondylitis affects men more often than women and typically begins in early adulthood. Treatments can lessen your symptoms and possibly slow progression of the disease.

Diagnosing medical conditions can be a real challenge, especially when it comes to complex issues like rheumatology. That’s why it’s crucial to work closely with the professionals at Fort Bend Rheumatology who can understand your symptoms and determine the best treatment options for your unique needs. With the latest technologies and medications at their disposal, the team at Fort Bend Rheumatology can provide you with the care and support you need to recover and get back to feeling your best.
