1: Very helpful
This book is very useful to people with lupus. I was diagnosed with lupus two years ago, with difuse symptoms, a lot of neurologic symptoms that one neurologist diagnosed as "you are very nervous, take a vacation, go to the beach", of course it didn't work because I had a cerebral vasculitis by lupus. Doctors shoul know about the symptoms described in this book by a patient and not only the symptoms described in medicine books. It has been very helpful to me. When I read it, I told to myself, ok, now I know more about this disease and I am more secure, I feel better. Thanks for the book.

2: Great for you and your family
I found this book to be very good. Not only factual but decent reading and no dictionary needed for my family. Great information and still keeping a positive approach! I would recommend this book to anyone newly diagnosed.

3: Seriously, 7 people gave this 5 stars?
This book is fine if you have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about lupus and have exactly zero background in any sort of science. It's extremely basic, and has a very annoying "self-help" feel to it that just had me rolling my eyes every other page. There are much better books out there, written by doctors and psychologists and so on - this is just written by a (rather whiney) woman with lupus. It's a quick read, so worth it if you don't have a lot of time and just want bare minimum information, or you like "self-help" sorts of things.. it's more a reassuring sort of book than anything actually helpful.

4: Good counsel & perspective
I purchased this book following an initial diagnosis of Lupus. The author demonstrates sympathetic voice while offering reasoned advice and experience. She shares her as well as others experiences in this easily readable book.
This book explains why physicians find it difficult to diagnose this condition and their subsequent behaviour towards their patient. You should read this book each time you have a medical appointment to avoid frustration and remain hopeful.
