Thank you, folks, for such a nice welcome!  :-)  You are a wonderful bunch.

The Lupus Book will arrive on Wednesday.  I'll start there, and also read
over all the posts here.

I do have a question.  Do you ever push yourself too hard?  I ask because
she's mentioned how she needs to take it easy, but she works full time with
travel, and has been quite busy due to the holidays.  I wonder if she's
overdoing it.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is does lupus prevent you from overdoing it,
or can you fight back short term and then feel the repercussions later?  I
hope this makes sense...

Any way, thanks again for getting me started.  I really appreciate your
help!

Hi,

I've recently started dating a wonderful woman who has lupus.  I don't know
much, so I'm turning to you folks to guide me to good information (web
sites, but especially books) that will help me understand her condition and
how to support her.

I hope you can help!  :-)
