Is there any pertinent information you can give me. As to how to best fight against the lupus diagnosis I have just recently been given. I am determined to fight this disease to the bitter end and I am Not going to let it get the best of me! I am a 69 yr old woman and have never had a major disease. in fact until I I was diagnosed I took nothing but vitamin supplements no prescription drugs. I ll try anything!
