 How to live well with Chronic Illness: Despite Lupus Apr 07, 2010
By Monalisa Robison
"mo"
I found out right from page one that I could have written this book! What I felt, what I was thinking; was written on these pages! For the first time; I was not alone and I was not crazy! And I felt "GREAT"! No, I was not cured! But for me; this is the part that the doctors don't explain to you and it's the part that you need to know the most! Thank you for putting you life into a book for others to read!

True insight on LIVING. Mar 30, 2010
By K. M. Huycke
"Despite Lupus" delivers insight about living... period. I don't have a chronic illness, but I found the thoughts and ideas about being true to yourself, in your current life situation, applicable to anyone. We all have hurdles and difficulties and often our lives take unexpected turns. This book, although specifically about dealing with a chronic illness, is a lesson in how one can choose to handle any situation in life.
My family member has a chronic illness. When I gave her the book and she read the first chapter, she felt that she was reading about herself. She wants all of our family members, especially her husband to read it because it's so difficult for her to explain what she goes through emotionally (and physically) on a daily basis.
I just love this book. It's an easy read and you'll be drawn in from the first page.

Excellent Book Jul 24, 2009
By M. Kerr
"Despite Lupus" tells an incredibly inspiring story about Sara Gorman's battle with lupus and how she is now able to live a fulfilling life, despite lupus. I learned so much, not just about lupus, but about the many ongoing struggles people with chronic diseases face. Her story is inspirational, informative and filled with tips about taking control of your life. This book is a must read for anyone who is suffering or knows someone suffering from a chronic disease.

Do you really want to live well with Lupus? Feb 02, 2010
By Gerald Or Carolyn Glein
"Gerald &/or Carolyn Glein"
If you want to learn about lupus, how to cope with lupus, how to actually LIVE with lupus then this is the book for you. It's done well, in laymen's language and not only can you read the book, you can go online to her blog and find all her updated information. She lives it and has lived it day to day and is willing to inform, educate, and share with those who have a diagnosis of lupus, or those who have a loved one suffering with lupus. I am a long time Systemic Lupus patient plus a leader of a support group for the past 20 years. I publish a newsletter plus have a website/forum on lupus and fibromyalgia who also believes in sharing information and support for those with these chronic illnesses. This book is one I have told many people about, both in a newsletter and online, it is definitely well worth the money and filled with up to date, accurate information. Make it a gift to your loved one who is trying to cope with lupus, this will definitely help.

Amazing book! Sep 04, 2009
By J.Gogis
Despite Lupus is an easy to read and informative book. It is easy to understand not
only for those diagnosed with lupus, but it is also a great resource for educating friends and families of loved ones suffering from this disease. What sets this book apart from others on this topic is that it provides insight into Sara's personal journey. From her own experiences she offers practical and useful suggestions on how to overcome the daily challenges and to live well. I would recommend this book to anyone who suffers from lupus or knows someone who does.
