Lupus Q & A

I bought (5) different books on Lupus. This book was the best one with quick to find info later so I could ask my doctor about things he never mentioned. Also great to share with family members who hate to read (husband's) so they can learn more about how we feel. Lupus is very complicated to explain to others when you don't understand it yourself yet and each case and patient can have such differnt symptoms.
