Understanding Lupus: A Rheumatologist’s Perspective
Lupus is often called “the great imitator” because it can affect nearly every organ and mimic many other conditions. While a lupus diagnosis can feel overwhelming, there is real hope: with early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and holistic care, many people living with lupus experience long periods of remission and lead full, active lives. At UnabridgedMD, we blend modern medicine with mind-body healing, supporting you every step of the way.
