This concise and clearly written book describes Chronic Lyme Disease, the different co-infections, what the symptoms are, how to recognize them, and finally, how best to get help. Personal stories of those who have dealt with these infections tell of finding the right health care provider, getting the correct diagnosis, then proper treatment.
