My friend George has had lupus for almost 14 years now. I am new to
the disease and am trying to be supportive. He is in a flare right
now with severe joint pain in his hands and feet such that I am
worried whether he can walk. We were at a dr appt last week and I was
surprised that the dr seemed very nonchalant! Is this normal?? I
would like to hear from men with lupus (or their wives/girlfriends)
with any suggestions as relates to this terrible disease. Thanks in
advance!!
