“This book from Liz Shaw-Stabler brings passion, guidance, and hope to the struggle of people suffering from chronic illnesses. Liz has spent decades battling systemic lupus, even enduring kidney failure and the challenges of living each day after day when she feels ill and then the near-miracle of kidney transplant—and all of the effects on the living of life. Liz is greatly admired by all who know her—a fighter, dedicated not only to personally overcoming illness, but also to bringing health care to people of color—a group that SLE strikes particularly hard. Shaw-Stabler is a professional educator and a passionate advocate, devoting hundreds of hours to founding LupusCare, which provides education and group meetings for a community in Los Angeles that is rich in African American and Latino families—a community that needs much better access to health care and health education. This book is another step in the battle. Read it to understand, to learn, and to discover how one person can influence the battle for personal and public health. Finally, read it to be inspired and to be moved to action. This book and its author are national treasures”—Bevra H Hahn, MD Professor of Medicine Chief of Rheumatology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Great Admirer of Liz Stabler-Shaw Los Angeles, California, June 2010. “Lupus is a life-altering experience and wisdom provided our teachers and mentors can be enabling and empowering. Liz Shaw-Stabler has helped hundreds of women with her reassuring advice”—Daniel J. Wallace, MD, FACP, FACR Chief of Rheumatology at Cedares-Sinai Medical Center Liz Shaw-Stabler was born in East Texas and received her undergraduate degree from Prairie View A and M University. She moved to Chicago, Illinois, and began her career immediately after graduation. After living in Chicago for a few years, teaching high school, acquiring a Master’s Degree and doing freelance modeling, she slowed down long enough to get married. She is the mother of one daughter who resides in Chicago. Liz now lives with her husband, Jay, in Inglewood, California, where she became the Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Lupus Care Incorporated and organization that advocates for under-served lupus patients. Liz is a thirty-year lupus patient and has suffered many life-threatening illnesses but continued to believe that she was created to do something much bigger than her illness.
Lupus is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the immune system attacks the body's tissue, causing damage and dysfunction, and sometimes affecting major body organs. Lupus may be mild, bu it can also bring on serious and even life-threatening complications. Symptoms include extreme fatigue, joint pain, muscle aches, anemia and the general malaise, plus rash, most often across the face.
This book is a testimonial of an eventful and challenging life changing experience, of a healthy, young, ambitious Christian girl who aspired to successfully start and complete her university education journey. However, she unfortunately experienced a roadblock called Lupus which significantly impacted her physically and spiritually. This book also includes various perspectives and information from professionals in the field of medicine. The book traces my experience from simply not knowing what I had, to the point where I became knowledgeable both theoretically and experientially: with high photosensitivity, where a speck of sunlight would result in a proliferation of lesions on the skin that would leave scars. There are many people who are not aware of Lupus including some of the students I teach. I hope by breaking down some of the different types of Lupus that this information will help to diffuse any misconceptions about the disease. This book mainly focuses on Chronic Cutaneous Lupus and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. It denotes the various and possible treatments and precautions that one can take to live a comfortable life. It shows how I defied the odds and have succeeded in living a purposeful life, without medication such as Hydroxychloroquine and Prednisone. Miracles are still happening, and we need to draw on our Faith. This book illustrates that our faith must be worked for it to work.
Examines the life of the author, a Lupus patient, and gives the history, origin and development of Lupus, as well as strategies for coping with daily life as a Lupus sufferer.
