This book is written by a Lupus Warrior who tells her story in a true, matter of fact way that let's you know that you are not alone in this journey. Each story helps you understand and feel like someone else understands you and what you go thru. So many books are just information but when you find a book that's true to what you live, there aren't enough stars to like.. I Highly Recommend this book not just for those living this Non Curable Disease but also for friends and family. Thank You for sharing your story and thank you for Spreading Awareness...

Fighting Lupus Battles, Hope for a Cure
Forward by, Claudette Black
After reading this book by Kayrene Mimms, I became, for the first time, aware of what LUPUS is and all of the hidden symptoms and issues surrounding the illness. It gave me a heightened sense of the deadly effects of this disease. The mere fact that so many general physicians misdiagnose Lupus and treat their patients for other illness, is proof that early consultation with experts is essential when guessing is involved in the treatment of any illness. This book brought me closer to the understanding of the many falls and misleading symptoms of Lupus. It broadened my horizon and helped me in the understanding of many symptoms of Lupus and the grave and deadly mistakes in the prolong-ing the correct lupus diagnoses and early treatments. Lupus, if left untreated, can and will affect other major organs in the most destructive ways possible.
I was enlightened and intrigued by the experiences of others that is afflicted by this disease. One of my friends passed away from Lupus which then, was just a word, but after reading Kayrene’s book, I now understand what she was going through. Lupus affected her kidneys to the point where she was on dialysis three days per week. We all watched while the disease ravaged her body very slowly. It was very sad.
I am endorsing the aggressive research that is being done on Lupus and hope that researches can find a cure for this disease. I for one support this cause by participating in the annual walk for Lupus or donating to find a cure.

When I read Kayrene’s book, I have to admit that I knew absolutely nothing about Lupus. I had heard of the word Lupus, but had no clue as to what Lupus was. I am so grateful after reading her book. It drew me right in. It was so well written and engaging that I could not put it down because I was actually feeling it.
The book helps to spread the awareness about this life-threatening, chronic autoimmune disease, and shows how it affects other parts of the body. Now, I feel more empowered to engage in conversations where Lupus is being discussed.
Thanks Kayrene for taking such a giant step into the unknown and seeking a cure for Lupus. People who tread on unknown territory seeking a cure have special anointings given to them by God for the benefit of not only themselves, but also for all others suffering from or impacted by Lupus. Thumbs up Kayrene, and way to go! I am so proud of Kayrene as she continues to educate those of us who just don’t understand, but want to, about Lupus and its’ effects!

Kayrene Mimms bravely wrote her first book on Fighting Lupus Battles, detailing her journey as she suffered from symptoms so complicated that Lupus was not diagnosed in earlier years. Few of us are equipped to honestly tell our story about health challenges. Most are even less equipped to offer others the guidance they need to seek out appropriate doctors for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. I have learned a lot about Lupus and resources available reading Kayrene’s book and supporting her efforts to help fund research and awareness through her team – K’s Hope for a Cure.

Basic facts about lupus

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2020

I read this book to get a general understanding of lupus and it’s manifestations. I knew almost nothing about the disease except that a friend had been diagnosed with it.
The book was an excellent guide and very informative. I loaned the book to a neighbor who was a lupus victim and never saw it again so I have to conclude that she found it helpful as well.
The book is also a compelling and interesting read.

Learning About the Impact of Lupus

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020

Fascinating insight into the world of Lupus and the impact it has on not only the person with the disease but their family. Kayrene provides different perspectives both personally and from others suffering that allowed a novice like me better understand this crippling disease.
