"There is no cure for lupus, but for the people who have the disease there is no better place than HSS Rheumatology for treatment and care.

"My game is not a sport. It's the game of life. I have an autoimmune disease called myositis. My treatment includes oral prednisone and monthly infusions of IVIG.

I refused to just give in to the disease and view my life as over. "
