A rheumatologist and a psychologist offer an informative and compassionate perspective on coping with lupus for patients and their families. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is difficult to diagnose, and the symptoms-from achy joints to skin rashes-often mimic those of other diseases. Based on extensive research and clinical experience, Lupus Q&A answers the myriad questions of the more than 1.4 million lupus patients in this country. The book demystifies lupus by explaining diagnosis, symptoms, treatments, medication, and the psychological impact of the disease.
I bought (5) different books on Lupus. This book was the best one with quick to find info later so I could ask my doctor about things he never mentioned. Also great to share with family members who hate to read (husband's) so they can learn more about how we feel. Lupus is very complicated to explain to others when you don't understand it yourself yet and each case and patient can have such differnt symptoms.
