Beware the Ticking LYME BOMB: Lessons learned from Lyme Disease survivors

By Craigger Creed

"BEWARE THE TICKING LYME BOMB is an amazing piece of work--passionate, informative, and thorough." - Mike Boyd, Whitewater Canoeist & Casual Writer It was after a kayaking/camping trip a few summers ago that I felt my first symptoms of Lyme. It took eight months to find a doctor who said, "I think you have Lyme disease. We need to start treatment NOW " I was frustrated and appalled that the first several doctors I visited didn't know any more about Lyme than I did. And I was darn near clueless. So I want you to know more about Lyme than I did--it helps to know a few things about it before you even get it. A lot of people find Lyme disease as boring as I used to when I thought it was something that happened only to other people. So I made sure "TLB" (short for "Beware the Ticking Lyme Bomb") is as engaging and entertaining as it is enlightening. Check it out. Part 1 topics include What the Heck is Wrong With Me? ?; The Truth About Lyme Disease; Symptoms: The Many Faces of Lyme Disease; Getting a True Lyme Test: Feel Lucky?; Why is My Doctor Clueless?; Can I get Lyme From Sex?; etc. In Part 2, seven of my friends share their very personal experiences with Lyme Lyme disease in the hope that you won't have to struggle like they did to get diagnosed and treated. Comparison spreadsheets show you how the symptoms, treatments, etc. vary between these seven patients. With any luck, you'll BEWARE THE TICKING LYME BOMB in time to save yourself what my friends and I have been through. Good luck -- CRAIGGER CREED Here are two more reviews from people who dig the outdoors: "BEWARE THE TICKING LYME BOMB is exceptional. Learning about many general practitioners' lack of knowledge regarding Lyme disease was a startling revelation. Their inability to help causes so much unnecessary agony for victims." George Figdore, Adventure Traveler & Entrepreneur "I had not realized how many different symptoms can be exhibited by victims of Lyme disease. The comparison spreadsheets and the Lyme stories at the end of BEWARE THE TICKING LYME BOMB evoke sympathy and further understanding of the disease."
