Book Description

According to the CDC, Lyme Disease is the fastest growing vector-borne disease in the USA with over 300,000 cases per year - about 34 cases per hour. So why has this disease been so misunderstood and denied?Read the 27 stories inside "The Waiting Room: Invisible Voices of Lyme" to hear the struggles and the lessons we've learned through our journey with Lyme. It is our collaborative hope that the world will have a better understanding of what we go through, and that our family, friends, and doctors will see what it's really like living with a complicated, multi-systemic, invisible disease. We also hope that if you suffer from Lyme, you'll find comfort in our stories, hope that you'll get better, and find a community that understands what you go through. If you're a friend or family member, it's our desire that you will come to know what is going on inside of our hearts, minds and body so that you can better support those who are suffering. And if you're a doctor, we hope that you'll help spread support, and help stop the denial that Lyme Disease even exists or that it is easily detected and cured. Please help us to get the treatment that is needed and become educated in proper detection.This book was compiled with love and dedicated to all Lyme Disease sufferers.
