Confronting Lyme Disease Aug 25, 2007 The patient stories are eye opening, to say the least. It's puts in perspective what the Lyme patient has to go through to get diagnonsed, and get coverage from Medicare or insuranrce companies (not!!). Everything is out of pocket. Read about Joan, the last patient, a Canadian, who has to deal with her government, and the U.S. Very frustrating!!

Confronting Lyme Disease: a unique perspective on a chronic illness Aug 09, 2007 This book is excellently written. As a student of public health, it's great to see a book that shows the effects of lyme disease on those who have it. It's a great resource for contacts if one contracts this chronic illness, and builds empathy for those who have contracted it. Most importantly, it delivers the message that treatment for lyme disease must be sought immediately, and that the current methods of treatment are often times ineffective. Overall, an enlightening and excellent piece.

A great read Aug 03, 2007 This book is incredible. It highlights the extent of suffering and the strength of spirit of the people who weer affected so terribly by such a misunderstood disease. I would highly reccomend that you buy this book-- even if you yourself are not in any way impacted by Lyme disease, this book is an inspiring and educational one.

Confronting Lyme Disease, Other peoples stories Jul 30, 2007 A collection of short stories and traditional medical treatments. Reading for entertainment. Choose this book if you find comfort in other peoples problems or want to know if your symptoms could be lyme disease. Not very well written, more a collection of chart notes. If you need ideas on where to turn next, you may want to read this book. If you are well informed about lyme disease you will find this book a waste of time.

Lyme Disease Personal Stories Jun 28, 2007 This is an incredible book. It might not be for someone that has just been diagnosed. But if you care for someone with this disease it helps you to get a sense of what they are going through. Once you are committed to getting better it is important to see that others have had to deal with some similar hardships and that you are not alone.
