Synopsis

A top-seller in Avery's Coping with a Chronic Illness series (more than 78,000 sold) is now thoroughly revised and updated.

More than sixteen thousand Americans develop lupus each year, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. Once considered a fatal disease of the autoimmune system, current methods of therapy have made deaths from lupus much more uncommon. Many patients now live longer lives while coping with the debilitating symptoms of the disease. This completely revised edition provides informed, compassionate advice about how to choose the right medications and manage the difficult emotions brought on by living with chronic illness.
