Customer Reviews

EXCELLENT: GREAT INFORMATION

I have had Lupus for 19 years and this book tells it all. Great easy read and a great information guide for family and friends. I totally recommend this book.

Very Good informative book

I thought this was a good book for anyone who is trying to learn more about lupus. I have had the disease for many years, and still found things I was not sure of. I would reccomend it to others for sure. I would also recommend Stolen Moments, as it shows someone living with lupus in a differnt way. Both are excellent books for lupus patient to read.

Lupus Handbook For Women

A comprehensive book, although it could go into more depth in areas. The page numbers are on the binding side of each page, which makes it difficult to thumb through to find anything.

A Great Help

I borrowed this book from the library and I just had to buy it. I have read a lot about lupus since my diagnosis 4 years ago. This is the most useful resource I have found yet. It explains the disease and possible causes, and also gives information on the tests that lupus patients routinely undergo.
