Recommended by the Lupus Foundation and updated with notes in 2017, A Lupus Handbook These Are The Faces Of Lupus is both informative and a moving personal account.
Flannery O'Connor once wrote that sickness has no company--it is in defiance of this stark reality that A. G. Moore wrote her book. She was first diagnosed with lupus in 1996, though she dealt with its effects long before that. Through flares and remissions she strove to educate herself, to become informed. She wanted to be a participant in her own care, to shape as much as possible the course of her treatment and the quality of her life.
A disease like lupus often does not offer a lot of options, but there are always choices to be made. A. G. Moore was committed to knowing about those choices and to being a responsible partner in determining which of those choices was best for her.
This book is thoroughly documented. Sources for technical sections of the book are almost exclusively peer-reviewed journals. As for the brief biographical sketches she offers of eleven public figures--all of these individuals were diagnosed with lupus. In every case, the disease did not define a life, though in some cases it did take life. Each "celebrity" managed to forge a unique path despite lupus, not because of it.
A. G. Moore hopes every reader, every person with lupus or any disease, is able to do the same.

A Lupus Handbook These Are the Faces of Lupus edition by A G Moore Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
As a newly diagnosed lupus patient, this book have me more pertinent information than I have found before. Thank you for helping me to understand more about this disease.
This book is written very well. The author doesn't try to talk down to the patient as many books do. I enjoyed this one and learned some new facts. I've read a ton of lupus books. This is one I will recommend.
if you want to learn about Lupus, this is the book to read. The author takes you into others lives who've had all the signs of Lupus, then goes into her own illness. She takes you along many years of diagnosis and the doctors she had and gave up on. The only thing that surprised me was this disease has been around very, very long and still there is not a definite way to diagnose it. Great book.
I mean no disrespect. This book wasn't as helpful as other books...I didn't care for the history of lupus or the list of celebrities who got diagnosed with it. I was hoping for info as to how to many the pain, diet, sleep disorders and so on.
As good as Moore's descriptions of Lupus itself are, I found her experiences with the multiple physicians she visited even more illuminating. Her early passivity and acceptance of the "doctor's word," which led to years of unnecessary pain, gradually gave way to proactivity and an understanding of the necessity to challenge and discuss her condition with her doctors -- and a willingness to do so -- which now allows her to now successfully manage her life.
Luckily, I am not currently sick, but I am now armed with the knowledge to not be intimidated and to advocate for myself if the time does come that I do have to consult with doctors.
"These Are the Faces of Lupus" details the debilitating affects of this disease and how, in spite of them, many afflicted with it thrive. Through a series of fascinating biographical profiles, the author portrays how people from various walks of life, some very public, have dealt with Lupus successfully. It describes the process, step-by-step, from onset of symptoms and diagnosis to treatment, or lack thereof. The author presents a unique blend of insight, comprehensive research about Lupus and related diseases, as well as an extensive glossary of associated terminology and a wide range of references.
Moreover, in this deeply personal account, A.G. Moore implores readers to take an active role in their own care and provides practical tips for dealing with medical professionals and bureaucracies. For those suffering from Lupus or other autoimmune and chronic diseases, as well as people who are touched by them, "These are the Faces of Lupus" is an engaging, informative, inspiring guide and an interesting worthwhile read. I loved it.
Having Lupus, I try to keep myself educated on the topic of this illness. This book actually taught me a few things, and I am so happy that this is available for download to those that need it. A great overview with wonderful facts, I highly recommend this book to those suffering from this disease, and those that care for loved ones with Lupus.
My Lupus experiences were so similar, I could have written this book. I still struggle with finding the Dr. That understands and you give my hope.
Along with Lupus I also deal with thyroid issues and fibromyalgia. The author was very helpful
