Book Reviews of Lyme Disease: One Man?s Story
Book Review: I have read the book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually did read the book and am writing my review based off of that.
The book is well written and as titled is one man's story of his own life in dealing with lyme disease. The book is about the personal side of this horrible disease, more specifically his own story, not anyone else's story, just his.
It is meant to tell others about how drastically and profoundly the disease can change an average person's life, for the worse. All too often people think "this won't happen to me", in this case it did happen and to a person who is no different than the rest of us; a hardworking family man.
The book is meant to reach out to others; giving perhaps a justifcation (a sense of "see I am not making all these symptons up" to those with lyme disease, maybe a reality check to the family and friends of people with lyme disease, and a simple reflection of life to those who have heard of lyme disease but don't know much about it and think it will never happen to them.
The author never once stated in his book that it is a medical book on lyme disease or that he has all the facts. That is just it, when dealing with a disease you don't ever really know all the facts, you just know how you feel and how your life has changed. That is all the author is trying to tell you,that and possibly a shouted out warning to be cautious and careful if you are in an area prone to lyme disease.
Actually, the book doesn't even have to be specifically for those dealing with lyme disease, it is for anyone dealing with any given disease that has made them no longer who they once were.
The book is sad and might make you grab a kleenex, especially if you have or know someone with lyme disease (or some other life changing disease). If you do not, you realize how truly fortunate you are and acknowledge that life and your abilities are not meant to be taken for granted.
The book is a valuable read.
Summary of Lyme Disease: One Man?s Story
Lyme disease is that unseen destroyer of lives. Each year tens of thousands are diagnosed with the disease?a number that represents one-tenth of those actually infected. It has been called ?the great imitator? because the disease mimics nearly 350 other diseases. Unknown?or perhaps just ignored?are those whose lives are disrupted, devalued and left behind. This book is for them. This book is for all those who have questions regarding the effects of Lyme disease. It is for the families, the friends and the infected. This is the story of one man?s ongoing struggle to overcome.Disorders & Diseases Books
