great read is "How to cope with lyme disease"

[Jena906]

I found it at Barnes and Noble for about $30.00.  I did not buy it, BUT found a copy at my library for FREE :-)  I wish I would of found it earlier on in my illness of not knowing what dr to see next.   I would recomend it to anyone who has been down the path mri's for ms or echo's for heart problems and dr just keep saying you look finene and your results are all normal.  AND YOU think to yourself I don't feel fine or other wise I would be out living life like EricaO is now doing after a cure from this lyme bug.  Again the book is called "how to cope with lyme disease" the third addition.  Has anyone else read this book?

Haven't read. But it sounds proactive and promising. That has to be good.

Coping with this is more difficult than most illnesses because no one knows a thing about it.

No one can agree how to treat it in its infancy.

No one can agree how to treat it in its next phase.

And it therefore often leads to the state the posters here are in.

So were left with this and we need to cope better with it and its symptoms and the fact that doctors don't know a thing about it. What do we do to cope?

I haven't, but I'll add it to my list.

My absolute favorite book on the subject is "Cure Unknown" by Pam Weintraub.  It covers Lyme from many angles, including history, controversy, conflicting medical opinion, testing, and personal patient experience.

I also have "The Lyme Disease Solution" by K. Singleton, but confess that I haven't read much of it yet!  (This is my fault, not the book's.  It came recommended to me.)

Thanks for the tip.
