What Is Systemic Lupus?
9. Support and Coping
The challenges of living with systemic lupus erythematosus can take a toll on your mental and emotional health. It can help to talk to someone about what you are feeling. You may benefit from counseling or from participating in a support group for people with SLE.
The more you understand about SLE, the better prepared you are to deal with the symptoms you may experience. You should make a list of questions for your doctor and ask him or her for resources where you can find more information. Understanding your condition will also help you explain it to family and friends and let them know how they can help you.
