We�ll talk to Nancy Hanger about her book, Lupus: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed. Nancy says that a diagnosis of Lupus is no longer a death sentence, but just getting that diagnosis can be a frustrating experience. As a rheumatologic illness, Lupus is often amorphous and displays itself in seemingly unconnected ways. On top of that, it appears mostly in women and is often though to be �all in her head�. As a Lupus patient herself, Nancy talks about she learned to keep her life going strong.
