SynopsisThe stigma and misinformation that often accompanies a diagnosis of lupus are exposed in this medical reference intended to alleviate fears and correct misconceptions by providing facts about diagnosis and treatment. Useful for patients, family members and friends of patients, community leaders, and health professionals, this guide covers basic information regarding symptoms, complications, treatment options, environmental influences, stages, and lifestyle choices. Clinical and personal advice for confronting the disease is presented with attention to specific populations, such as African American women, who are particularly susceptible to the disease., Lupus affects approximately 1.4 million people in the United States-making it one of the most common diseases in the country. Ninety percent of lupus patients are women, and African American women are three times more likely to be affected than their Caucasian counterparts. But, there is hope. Dr. Ana Quintero's easy-to-understand, compassionate book will teach you how to lead a healthy, active, and satisfying life. People with lupus will learn how to manage the disease by watching for symptoms, becoming educated about medications, and by collaborating with healthcare professionals. Complete with a chapter dedicated to providing resource information-including international organizations-this book is a must-have for patients, family members, and anyone associated with the illness. Book jacket.
