We don’t have to tell you about the importance of perseverance -- people with lupus are the most resourceful folks we’ve ever met. That’s because life with lupus is full of challenges. We have some people (and organizations) to tell you about who can really help you on your way.
Are you a person who believes that understanding the parts is key to understanding the whole? Then you will pleased to learn that the holistic approach to health care is moving into medical school curricula. In this issue you can read about that, and about the benefits of integrative medicine to people with lupus.
Next question: How much power over pain do you believe you have? Meditation, guided imagery, and especially exercise -- yes, it’s true -- these are just some of the ways one lady with lupus is managing her chronic pain. Find out more in the Wellness article about drug-free pain relief.
Our second Wellness piece is about ways to improve your doctor’s office visit. Whether you’re seeing a new doctor or a familiar one, these suggestions -- including the perspectives of a teenager and her pediatric rheumatologist -- will help you and your doctor make the most of the time you have together.
As always, you can check out the online version of Lupus Now magazine.
