One time yoga instructor Amanda Chay a.k.a
the Lupus Warrior, author of new book The Girlfriend's Guide to Lupus: How to Control your Sh*tty Diagnosis (10/23), a self-help book for women who feel scared and alone with their lupus diagnosis.
About 1.5 million Americans have lupus, and there are
an estimated 16,000 new cases each year. More than five million people worldwide have some form of the disease and ninety percent (90%) of people living with lupus are women. When
asked about the most difficult aspects of coping with lupus, 65% said pain, 61% cited lifestyle changes, and 50% reported emotional problems.
Amanda’s long battle with lupus, which often drives
her bonkers, has fueled her passion for helping other women suffering from the disease. When she was diagnosed, searching for stories like hers was frustrating. She needed approachable, easy to understand information from trusted experts that she could actually use. Her family and friends didn’t know
exactly how to help or what to say. That’s why she’s written, in her own words, “the badass warrior lupus advocate book” The Girlfriend's Guide to Lupus. Written with a lighthearted and humorous approach to comprehensively describe the
realities of lupus, the book is a fantastic resource not only
for those diagnosed with lupus and looking for answers but also for those who care for them.
