Author Lori Dennis talks with Lyme Voice about the overwhelming and complicated trek that comes with having chronic Lyme disease.
It has been said that Lyme patients are victimized in three ways. Once by the disease, twice by the doctor and a third time by family and friends who roll their eyes and walk away.
We dive into that reality with Lori Dennis who has an incredibly unique perspective on Lyme. As a professional she has patients who have chronic illnesses. But she also has the perspective of being a Mother to an adult son who has Lyme. As a professional she has seen the chaos, expense and longevity of Lyme disease and Lyme disease complex.
The reality is that in addition to fighting the illness, you are fighting socially, emotionally, and financially.
