Mom w/ SLE, lo mood: I'm sure it is extremely helpful to your mom, to have such a caring daughter. Your love and support are surely paramount to your mom, and are things that her docs cant begin to give her! remember to take good care of yourself, as caring for a loved one can cause our own emotional stress. You may want to encourage your mom to talk with her docs about her mood symptoms, which are common in SLE.
