Sleeper Disease: Raising Awareness of Misdiagnosis and Late Diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

This lack of understanding is leading to high levels of misdiagnosis, belated diagnosis, and downright wrong diagnosis of the disease.

Three-Pronged Approach to Lupus Awareness: Understanding, Mental and Emotional Journey, and Holistic Physical Solutions

“How to Stay Sane in Pain” is available internationally in e-book, paperback and hardback from Amazon and Balboa Press/Hay House published in early 2019.
