A rheumatologist and a psychologist offer an informative and compassionate perspective on coping with lupus for patients and their families.

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.
