This book was most informative.,
By kellymambm@aol.com (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living with Lupus (Mass Market Paperback)
As a patient diagnosed several years ago with SLE and Sjogren's Syndrome, I have been looking for more information about the diseases. This book was so interesting and gave me so much information, I read it in 2 days. It has answered many questions for me, things that my rheumatologist never had time to follow through with me, or gave me vague answers to my questions. It was especially helpful to have the lab values explained in detail, what is, and what is not normal and to be expected with this autoimmune disease. I wish that physicians would give a copy of this book to their patients when they are given the diagnosis of SLE. I know I would have felt much better having a better understanding of my disease. It has also given me many questions that I need to address with my own rheumatologist regarding the treatment that he has for me now and his plans for treatment in the future. I would highly recommend this book for anyone that has been diagnosed with SLE.

My rheumatologist is Dr. Mark Horowitz,
By Barbs (Ronkonkoma, Long Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living with Lupus (Mass Market Paperback)
I was so happy when I finally read this book. Dr. Mark Horowitz is one of the best rheumatologists out there and when he diagnosed me with Lupus 3 years ago, I never thought I would understand any of it. Thank goodness he took the time and effort to participate in this book and actually sit and explain everything to me. Any time I have a question, I have no problem going back to the book and if it is not there I call his office and he explains anything I want to know. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for some answers and not because my doctor wrote the book but because it is a GOOD book.

Good info for starting out,
By A Customer
This review is from: Living with Lupus (Mass Market Paperback)
When I was first diagnosed, and had little to no clue about lupus, I bought this book. More because of the pink edging on the cover than its applicable title. It turned out to be very useful & filled with good information. Think of it as a "starting off" point though. It isn't as "nitty gritty" medical as it could be, nor is it a female empowerment book. It's for getting good footing when you're lost in the first icy swirl of diagnosis.
