Starting with the day of diagnosis, Hanger provides vital information about the nature of lupus, choosing the right doctors, treatment options, coping mechanisms, holistic alternatives, and much more. The First Year™,Lupus will be a supportive and educational resource for everyone who wants to take an active role in the management of their condition.
