This is my favorite book on lupus. Dr. Wallace is considered one of the leading authorities on the treatment for lupus. What I appreciate most about this book is that Dr. Wallace provides information in an understandable manner without talking down to the reader or leaving things out. Sometimes when I read information about lupus, I feel like the writer is leaving out information out of worry of scaring the reader. Dr. Wallace just puts it out there. This book also has compartive stories about patients he has treated. I like this book a lot. I read it whenever I'm obsessing about a lupus issue. It gives me a reality check.
