Dear Tamera
I am not a doctor, only a mere neurosciences librarian, so cannot give
you any clinical answer to your question, but thought that some
references on Lupus might help.
The book: Neurology in clinical practice. Bradley, WG (et al).-
London: Butterworth-Heinemann, 1989. ISBN:
0-409-90194-6 (2 volumes), might help in your
enquiry.
Also, there is a self-help group available, who
might be able to offer help:
Lupus UK,
8-17 Eastern Road
Romford, RM1 3NG
Tel: 01708 731251.
I do hope this might help your friend whilst she
waits to see the doctor.
Kindest regards,
-- Diane Joy Pritchatt
