Synopsis

More than 30 years after it was first diagnosed, Lyme disease remains one of our most misunderstood illnesses. Finally, this book offers those who struggle with it the guidance to get the help they need.

This frequently misdiagnosed infection is spreading at an alarming rate and, if not treated early, can cause debilitating symptoms. More than 1.7 million people in the United States, and many others in Europe and Asia, currently have Lyme and are unaware or can’t find the right treatment. A respected health author and educator, Constance Bean is an authority on this elusive illness.

In 1993, she was diagnosed with Lyme and has spent the past 14 years researching its treatments and diagnoses. In Beating Lyme, you will find comforting, hard-won advice on such topics as:

  • what Lyme is and how to recognize the symptoms
  • what to do after a tick bite
  • how to protect family and friends
  • how to get the best treatment and what to do if insurance won't cover it
  • living with long-term Lyme disease

Compassionate and thoroughly researched, Beating Lyme will help both doctors and patients understand and conquer this complex illness.
