This is the most in-depth review that I have seen that is easily readable for patients and their families (Jill Gibson, MD, Washington University Medical Center, Doody's Notes )
Product Description
Lupus, a disease of the immune system, can be quite deadly, claiming the lives of thousands of patients yearly. Dr. Daniel J. Wallace is one of the world's leading authorities on this disorder, an eminent clinician who has treated over 2000 lupus patients, the largest such practice in America. His The Lupus Book, originally published in 1995, immediately established itself as the most readable and helpful book on the disease. Now Dr. Wallace has once again completely revised The Lupus Book, incorporating a wealth of new information. This Fourth Edition discusses the newest clinical trials and emerging therapies--all laid out in user-friendly language that any patient could understand. Readers will also discover fully updated sections on the science of lupus and breakthroughs in research. And as in past editions, the book provides absolutely lucid answers to such questions as: What causes lupus? How and where is the body affected? Can a woman with lupus have a baby? And how can one manage this disease? Indeed, Dr. Wallace has distilled his extensive experience, providing the most up-to-date information on causes, prevention, cure, exercise, diet, and many other important topics. There is also a glossary of terms and an appendix of lupus resource materials compiled by the Lupus Foundation of America. Over a million Americans have lupus. The Fourth Edition of The Lupus Book offers these patients and their families a wealth of reliable, up-to-date information that will help them manage the disease and live a happier life.

I have recommended this book to numerous people to help them understand their illness better. Dr. Wallace has written this book in terms that a lay person can understand, but never 'talks down' to the reader. This book is an excellent tool for arming oneself in being their own patient advocate. The information can allow you to converse with your heath care provider, working with them to achieve the best care for you. Having read many books about this disease which I have had for the last 10 years, I am pleased with the extensive coverage of the many symptoms and ways that lupus can manifest itself. A very helpful and useful book.

I've got lupus. I buy every book and phamplet I can find. I never ever found anything so comprehensive as this book. Whether you're an expert or a novice, this book is for you - anyone can understand it. Finally something is on the market that digs deeper than generalities and provides the details you need to manage your illness, help identify your symptoms, and reassure you in ways few Doctors can. Its a SUPER BOOK!

If you or someone close to you has been just diagnosed with Lupus and you feel confused, this book
will do much to clear up your confusion, and answer all those questions that are lingering in the back of your mind.
"The Lupus Book" is written in clear and easy to understand language and covers almost all areas related to Lupus including illness that Lupoids
tend to have. The categories are seperate and distinct, thus eliminating the confusion that sometimes prevails when reading a medical text.

Everyone knows that diagnosis for this condition is far from easy. This cuts through the confusion and is hugely helpful

The Lupus Book
This book is clearly written and very informative. It is detailed enough to help a doctor but written in such way that it can be understood by the general public. Read more

Comprehensive but condescending on some key points.
This book gives detailed but easily understood information on all aspects of Lupus. The only negatives I found were that the book is very much aimed at the American Lupus patient,... Read more

good 1st book to read
after reading Wallace, you need to read DeBartolo's "Lupus Underground." Wallace only covers the toxic drugs used today, DeBartolo keys in on a new drug-less cutting edge therapy.
