Lupus Erythematosus - Pamphlet

Pamphlet by: Nat'l Inst. of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal & Skin Diseases, Jan 22, 1999

The best way to treat lupus is to listen to the patient, whether that patient was diagnosed today or years ago. The patient's support systems can be expanded to include pamphlets and books, physical or occupational therapy, vocational rehabilitation, homemaker services, the Visiting Nurses Association (VNA), the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA), and the Arthritis Foundation (AF).

Lupus is a challenge to everyone concerned. The health professional has a key role in its management. Accurate documentation, supportive care, emotional support, patient education, and access to community resources will provide the patient and her or his family with the tools they need to cope effectively.
