They cover common issues of daily living with thoughtful discussions of the variety of symptoms, how they may effect your lifestyle and those of your family.

I will up front admit that I am biased - I too am a patient of Dr. Kassan. I have bought numerous books over the years about Lupus in an effort to better understand my disease, and seeing this - so well written - from the perspective of both doctor and patient - that I absolutely consider it a must read for all Lupus patients...both newly diagnosed and those who have had it for years.This is a book that I can see myself referencing for years to come. It answered more questions and gave me more insight into this evil disease than the hundreds of articles and dozens of books that I have read over the years.
This is such a great book. I take it everywhere. Very, very helpful. I really recommend it to every newly diagnosed Lupus patient
great doctor, good book.
purchased for a friend. No review.
