Many thanks Lorraine

The Lupus Encyclopedia by Donald E Thomas

I agree with Kevin53. Contact Lupus UK they will point you in the right direction. Their magazines list several excellent books. All good wishes.

The Lupus Encyclopedia is much the best!

HiI also agree with the others Lupus uk really helped me to try and understand the condition.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago and am still learning about it. This forum is extremely helpful because all on here have the same condition. If I'm unsure about anything someone on here has the answer. Such great people.

Good luck

[Wadman]

Thank you everyone. I will contact Lupus UK. Take care Lorraine

At the foot of this Lupus UK page there are links for doctors

lupusuk.org.uk/medical/lupu...

The book that is advertised on this page 'Lupus Diagnosis and Treatment' is intended for GPs and associated health professionals

In 2020 edition it says on the last page it "will also make a good text on the subject for patients and their families who are increasingly literate in medicine and the medical sciences".

I bought a second hand copy of Dr Donald Thomas' The Lupus Encyclopedia' after watching a Lupus Foundation of America - Expert series

Session 1, Episode 1: Managing and Preventing Flares

lupus.org/resources/lupus-t...

was given by by Donald Thomas, I then watched other of his videos on YouTube.
