Great book Cure Unknown by Pamela Weintraub

I just finished this amazing book and wanted to share, it is a medical journalists transcription of her own families unravelling of their massive undiagnosed Lyme disease along with a detailed history of how it was discovered, why the guidelines are so outdated and scientific/medical explanations of how Bb and co-infections work/persist. I found it extremely helpful in terms of understanding this disease, the history etc. It's also very interesting to read and makes you even more appreciate the risks our wonderful LLMD's take every day. I feel better armed in this battle now after reading and wanted to share with others.

Yes, it's a great book. I loaned it to my Mom so she could learn more about what we are up against. My daughter is turning 11 and she wants to read it next.

Love this book! If you read very carefully, Pamela Weintraub hints that one of her sons had psychiatric symptoms from Lyme, but doesn't provide any details.

Hmm I think I will give it to my mother too. Despite DD's 2 CDC positive tests for Lyme, plus ehrlicia, anaplasmosis and rocky mountain spotted fever, she thinks my daughter is faking it because the symptoms come and go. Yeah 8 year olds normally beg to die. It infuriates me.
