	DISCOVER HOW THIS 'WOLF TRANSFORMS TO A BUTTERFLY Live Suzanne Whicker Ferschl (RIP 9 November 10) whose strength and courage will live on forever in the messages she left. Buy direct from Lupus Intus website. Reviewed by Melissa Darnley BA Dip Ed (Teach/Lib) Australian Yahoo Dialysis Buddies. Suzanne faced many challenges in her lifetime. You are left speechless at the inner strength and indomitable spirit of this woman. You feel strangely uplifted and question your own courage and determination which leads you to reassess if you are living your own life well, regardless of the state of your health. Terms such as ‘survivor’ and ‘sufferer’ are often applied to people who have incredibly full lives whilst managing a challenging chronic disease, but these are not enough to describe Suzie's spirited life journey documented so honestly in her autobiography of living with the inflammatory autoimmune disease, Lupus. My first impression was of empathy and sadness. As you read the pages you feel thankful Suzie equipped herself so courageously to ‘live every minute of every day’ with such an amazing spirit. Read more and how this 'wolf' affects those it attacks in the Lupus Magazine or in our fact sheet Lupus Nephritis.
