Here is my problem.
My manager just moved here from Austria.
I had told her when I was first hired into her department that I had Lyme but she did not have any clue what is was.

When i tell her about my reduced hours, I would like to give her some sort of brochure or article which explains chronic lyme, the symptoms and treatment. I think she should understand what I'm going through.

I also want her to know that she is at risk since she likes to run outside and is now living in Westchester County NY where there are plenty o' ticks.

Anyone know of a good primer to print out and give to her?
