The ultimate resource for those living with lupus, providing comfort, information, strategies, and advice.

There is no cure for lupus, so a diagnosis of this potentially debilitating autoimmune disorder can be understandably disquieting. This new edition of Coping with Lupus, completely revised and updated, answers all the important questions you may have and offers practical coping strategies to help those with lupus live their lives to the fullest.

Dr. Robert Phillips, the founder and director of the Center for Coping, lends his expertise in dealing with the psychological aspects of chronic health problems to address a range of issues, including-

The medical facts-what lupus is, and how it is diagnosed and treated
Medications, nonmedical pain-control methods, exercise, and diet
Lifestyle changes to maintain optimal physical and emotional health
Coping strategies for virtually every facet of living with lupus

With Coping with Lupus in hand, you can feel armed to face the challenges of lupus and live a vibrant, full life.

Praise for Dr. Phillip's Center for Coping

'The Center uses a variety of techniques that patients can learn quickly and carry out on their own.' The New York Times

'The Center for Coping help patients restructure their thought patterns, set realistic goals and learn to lead a happy life.' Essence Magazine
