Coping with Lupus

Revised & Updated, Fourth Edition

A completely updated and revised edition that provides comfort, information, strategies, and advice for those living with lupus.

  • The medical facts-what lupus is, and how it is diagnosed and treated
  • Medications, nonmedical pain-control methods, exercise, and diet
  • Lifestyle changes to maintain optimal physical and emotional health
  • Coping strategies for virtually every facet of living with lupus
