Anyone know of a good book about lupus for families dealing with the disease? |
I am looking for a good support book for families dealing with someone that has lupus. Any suggestions? The definitive book is "The Lupus Book", by Daniel Wallace, MD. I believe it is in it's third edition now. This book is pretty much the holy grail when it comes to knowing about Lupus. Dr. Wallace practices in Los Angeles, CA and sees almost exclusively Lupus patients. He has a terrible bedside manner but is an exceptional clinician. His book will give you all the answers you need. The other books that Linda mentioned above are helpful if you're looking for ways to deal with the disease not to actually understand what is going on. The First Year--Lupus: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed by Nancy C. Hanger (Paperback - Oct 1, 2003). I gave it to both my sons after my diagnosis with systemic lupus erythematosus with major organ involvement. |
