Thanks for posting that. I caught the beginning of the live chat and it
was pretty good. I also got the same email from Adrienne. The Lupus
Foundation has gotten the very top people in the field to do these live
chats. Lahita and Wallace have both written excellent patient books.

I encourage anyone who is not a member of LFA to join. Through their
advocacy efforts the Social Security regulations on lupus disability
have been changed.

Over 1 million is going to 22 instutions for lupus research.

LFA provides trained support group facilitators and support groups all
over the country.
