Customer Reviews

Most accurate and realistic lupus book I've found
I've been dealing with lupus for many years now, have read many articles and multiple books, have endured and am enduring many medical procedures and am always looking for new information or a new way to think about having lupus. This might not be an innovative book, but it was immensely valuable in a way I wasn't expecting. It accurately detailed every step, every fallback, every triumph and every catastrophe I've faced in this process. None of the other books I've read have been so true and so complete in presenting the possibilities of what has happened, what is happening now, and what to expect. Reading this has really focused my perceptions of what this disease can mean to me and what can be done to regain and maintain some control. I don't agree with all the methods and think some are downright airy, but there are many more options presented that sound reasoned and hopeful. If you have been looking for a book that provides a rock solid foundation of knowledge and understanding of lupus, this is it.

Best of all the MANY books about lupus
As a lupus sufferer who's read just about every book ever written on the subject, I found this to be the definitive book on a very complex subject. Digeronimo covers the realm of symptoms, treatments and complications thoroughly and with warmth and compassion. If you've just been diagnosed with lupus, or know someone who has it, this is the book for you! Congratulations to the author on a job well done.

Best Lupus Book on the Market
Being a long time Lupus sufferer, I've read and have every book known to man. This book explains everything you've ever wanted to know about Lupus, very elouquently. Applause go out to the author, Theresa DiGeronimo. If you are or know someone who suffers from Lupus, this is the best book on the market.
