Live a Beautiful Life with Lupus: Habits and Rituals for Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease--Body, Mind, and Spirit, Paperback

Can you live a beautiful life while living with Lupus?
Incurable and unpredictable, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, or Lupus, is an autoimmune disease known for its difficulty to treat and its penchant for disrupting lives. A Lupus patient can be stable one day and suffering in the hospital from a full-blown "flare" of the disease the next. For the over 1.5 million Americans living with the disease, the toll it takes is enormous. Living a life filled with fear, uncertainty, and strong medications, finding peace in this all-too-often stormy life with Lupus can be daunting--even in the mildest of cases. But with the habits and rituals of the Live a Beautiful Life with Lupus framework, a path to a better quality of life is possible.

Developed by Olivia Davenport, a Lupus patient herself, this book was borne out of years of debilitating episodes of illness and medical emergencies. In her desperation to find a way to truly live, she researched, queried, and conferred with her doctors and other practitioners to develop a systematic way to take care of herself holistically--body, mind, and spirit. Her approach is the reason she can say, "Yes, you can live a beautiful life with Lupus "

• Soothe your Lupus body--with the goal of minimizing Lupus flares and unexpected medical episodes.
