Summary: A Great Place to Start...
Review: After being diagnosed will Lyme Disease I was given this book to read and found it angered as well as enlightened me on such topics as: how the medical community is treating patients with Lyme Disease, the different stages of Lyme Disease and how to cope with having Lyme Disease. This book opens with a little bit of the history (when they first saw a case of Lyme, speculations on how it was spread and what the govenment doesn't want you to know). Then it proceeds to help you understand more about your conditions, how to approach doctors, and when it's time to get a NEW DOCTOR. This book offers very useful informations on different support groups and different articles to read. Overall, it has helped by showing me that there are people who do care, and that you are not alone.

Summary: Worth purchasing
Review: As an eleven year suffer of Chronic Lyme Disease I found Coping with Lyme Disease to be an accurate,reliable, informative source of both the Disease itself and the politics involved with Lyme Disease.It is a must read for any person who has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease or who suspects they have it and can't find a Doctor to treat it. I have bought many copies of this book and share it with both other Lyme victims and Physicians within my community that are not knowledgeable about this devistating illness and the politics that surround it. Denise Lang did a wonderful job in both editions of this book!

Summary: lyme disease book sexist
Review: I have had Lyme for over thirty years and I am considered uncurable,so I looked forward to reading this book. It was amazing she had a chapter on young people, teens, women, elderly and animals. Where was a chapter on men? Or are we considered to be part of the animal section? Other than this glaring sexist blind spot the book did have some good points, especially to people who have just contracted the Lyme Disease.Sincerely,
Chesley Farrell

Summary: lyme disease in children
Review: I never read this book. I rated this book 5 stars from what other reviewers said about it and that it gives me hope that something can be done! I have just recieved the positive result of my three year old daughter's westren blot test. Can anyone give me some good news. The dear tick that was borrowed under her skin was found 4 months ago. But her IGMs are high showing an acute attack now. The doctor thinks she must of been bitten more recent. I am definatly buying this book.

Summary: Coping with Lyme Disease, Third Edition by Denise Lang
Review: I think this book was very well thought out. It has so much information packed in the pages that I am reading it a second time. The glossary would be great for a new lymie researcher. It explores all aspects including diagnosis, testing, political views, insurance problem and so much more. The Support Groups, Organizations and Lyme Newsletter information is a bit out of date. But since "Education Is Your Best Defense" you will be able to track down almost anything that you may need.

Summary: Coping with Lyme Disease (2nd edition)
Review: I've had Lyme Disease for many years and only recently was diagnosed. This was like reading a biography. I find this book very helpful and refer to it often to be sure "I'm not crazy-it's just Lyme". I've had trouble finding information for the layperson that addressed my concerns and this is the best I've found so far. I recommend this to patients and caregivers. I even bought another copy for my doctor.
