This book of experiences comes from "Lupies" who have been there. This is not intended as any form of medical advice, but rather as Lupus to Lupus survivor support, and includes many entries and posts from sufferers and their friends and families intended to give comfort and support. As the author writes: I hope you may find some comfort in these messages, information and compassion -- even some hearty laughing -- from those who have this devastating disease. If you would like to express your thanks, The Lupus Foundation of America would be grateful for any contribution you might give.
