Seriously, how many doctors does it take to treat someone with lupus? Three? Ten?

There is the rheumatologist, the general practitioner, the pain specialist, the ENT, the physical therapist, the chiropractor, the pulmonologist, the psychologist, the psychiatrist, the ophthalmologist, and the really odd guy that just says, “I do bugs.”

What’s even more annoying is how everybody and their brother has some “cure” for lupus. Funny how the medical community just can’t see how that huge bottle of mega-juice is the cure for all your ills! Just look at the evidence! Oh… there is no evidence. Okay, how about these herbal supplements? They’re “natural” right? That’s gotta be good! Oh… all that immune system boosting is causing a lupus flare? Gee, didn’t see that coming.

I think my wife has enough doctors without every snake-oil multi-level-marketing salesperson trying to sell her a “cure” that doesn’t exist.
