Review for Lupus Foundation of Northern California, San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

After being diagnosed with lupus, I researched the condition extensively. But nothing could have prepared me for the emotional ramifications and challenging logistics that come with a chronic condition. LFNC helps me conserve my dwindling energy by providing summaries on the latest research, notification of studies and the backbone to local support groups and educational seminars. My first time attending a support group was invaluable, I finally met people "like me", not just by condition but by ambition as well. This was both heartening and discouraging and scary but it was important for me to see and understand the realities of creating a new lifestyle in which I can still be fulfilled. It is all a work in progress, and I know that the Lupus Foundation of Northern California is there if I need guidance / information.
