LYME MADNESS

LYME MADNESS: Rescuing My Son Down The Rabbit Hole of Chronic Lyme Disease | Lori Dennis

pick

Lori Dennis' impassioned book, Lyme Madness, is the work of an unintentional activist. I expected a detailed medical memoir about Dennis' son Matt's struggle with Lyme Disease. In fact, barely ten percent of the book is actually about the day-to-day of her son's Lyme battle, rather it's about her journey as a mom fighting and learning about Lyme. Lyme Madness is a manifesto for radical Lyme activism. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

LYME MADNESS: Rescuing My Son Down The Rabbit Hole of Chronic Lyme Disease | Lori Dennis

I need to get back to my NetGalley ARC pile, so I started this one today. I have chronic Lyme, so I'm curious to see how this book portrays the struggle. #chroniclyme #chronicillness

dariazeoli I went hiking a few weeks ago and found ticks on me a few days later. I'm terrified of getting Lyme disease! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @dariazeoli If the ticks were attached, the best thing to do is go see your doctor and get as many days of doxycycline as they will give you. 30 days is best, but a lot of docs won't do that much. If you hike a lot, use cedar oil spray on skin and clothes. Or treat your hiking clothes with permethicin. Shower as soon as you get back. Put your clothes in the dryer for 30 min when you get back to kill remaining ticks. Just a few ideas to help ... 8y

dariazeoli @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for that info! This was my first hike and I'm apprehensive about going again. I was able to pluck the tick off and noticed no bites, so hoping I lucked out. I know it's been an exceptionally bad season for ticks. (edited) 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @dariazeoli I'll cross my fingers for you! 8y

UnabridgedTomes There was a really interesting Radiolab about how one woman was bitten by a tick and became allergic to meat. It's amazing/tragic how such a tiny bug can wreak such havoc. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @UnabridgedTomes Sure is. That type of tick is supposedly getting more common as well. 8y

monkeygirlsmama Sounds like an interesting book. 8y

Crystalblu Super curious myself, one of my oldest friends struggles with Lyme as well! 8y

BkClubCare Scary stuff. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @BkClubCare Absolutely! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @monkeygirlsmama @Crystalblu I'm about 30% through. It's a good introduction to Lyme. 8y

kspenmoll I am copying this book ( she may have heard of it) for a dear friend who has battled chronic Lyme for years. Such a difficult, devastating journey. Thank you! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @kspenmoll It is. Feel free to refer her to my Goodreads shelf about Lyme: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/3932962-barbara-the-bibliophage?shelf=lyme... 8y
