8 Tips for Coping with Lupus
Like strangers, family and friends can be insensitive simply because they do not understand lupus. Explain the basics of the disease, and be sure to let them know that lupus can flare, making you feel sick some days and better others.

Having a supportive family and group of friends is very important for emotional and physical health.
