. .

Résumé :
Author Lori Dennis, Registered Psychotherapist, is a mom on a mission. Ever since her adult son fell ill in the fall of 2012, her only focus has been to help him get well. Little did she know at the start of this medical odyssey just how deep and unending this rabbit hole would be. While helping her son navigate his medical journey from no answers to continued recovery, she was determined to write this book to help others navigate this long and arduous path from illness to wellness-the overwhelming and complicated trek that comes with having chronic Lyme disease.


Chronic Lyme disease is a complex, confusing, and terrifying abyss-a black hole of human suffering, conflicting views, widespread corruption, and unrelenting medical navigation. Lyme Madness chronicles the author's and adult son's medical odyssey while capturing the current landscape of immeasurable suffering, twisted politics and medical madness that ensues worldwide. It provides a platform for the many voices of chronic Lyme sufferers, caregivers, and activists, along with the very few doctors and politicians all fighting for awareness, support and justice around the globe. It is a bold testament to the undeniable existence of this medical nightmare where millions are suffering and few are listening. The voices and pleas for medical acknowledgement of this widely negated disease are powerful, compelling, and a call-to-action for those in power to put an end to the political roadblocks that have kept chronic Lyme disease in the shadows for more than forty years.

Author Lori Dennis, Registered Psychotherapist, is a mom on a mission. Ever since her son fell ill, her only focus has been to help him get well. Little did she know when she first began this journey just how deep and unending this rabbit hole would be.

Chronic Lyme disease is a multilayered, complex, mind-bending, confusing, lonely, and terrifying abyss-a black hole of global human suffering, conflicting opinions, skewed research, political controversy, widespread corruption, and unrelenting medical navigation.

When she and he son were forced to take that headlong plunge down the rabbit hole, what they found in the world of Lyme was enough to make anyone feel outraged, terrified, helpless, confused, lost, betrayed, and heartbroken. Why? Because mainstream medicine has turned its back on the sick and infirm numbering in the millions worldwide.

While helping her son navigate his medical journey from no answers to diagnosis to treatment to continued recovery, she was determined to write this book?to help others navigate this long and arduous path from illness to wellness-the overwhelming and complicated trek that comes with having chronic Lyme. She was also determined to provide a platform for other Lyme sufferers to have their voices heard.

The author's hope is that their journey-one that likely mirrors yours-will help you find your own wellspring of tenacity, heart, connection, and resilience while finally feeling validated, supported, and a little less alone. Those in Lymeland need to have their voices amplified-on loudspeaker-with clarity and conviction, for the world to hear. Lyme Madness will help in this effort.
