"The Singing Forest, A Journey Through Lyme Disease" by PJ Langhoff
an intimate, honest story about a Midwestern family already struggling with undiagnosed Lyme that is hauled through the court system and persecuted for having Lyme. This book touches tabu subjects and goes far beyond the patient-symptom topic.
Divorce, disability, discrimination in the courts, schools, Seppuku, Columbine, the Federal Government, Lyme Disease, False allegations of child abuse and mental illness all weave a remarkably complex tapestry of circumstances sure to leave you wondering what happens next.

Paula, please copy/paste your link here to HIS TREEPATROL'S NEWBIE LINKS and post asking him to post it; he will.
He, like you/I, don't have time to read ALL the posts so I'm sure he hasn't seen it..
Just trying to be helpful to you/your book.

PJ, how about editing your topic line/PENCIL icon, and adding the name of your book?
A SUGGESTION TO ALL YOU LYMIES OUT THERE@!
I took the name of PJ's book/her name to our local public library asking if they would order it for us patrons.
GUESS WHAT? It came in yesterday...less than 2 weeks after I left my request there.
SUGGESTION: Please go to your libraries too; they are using up the END OF FISCAL MONEY to buy books, etc . That's how this got bought so quickly.
PJ, I love the LARGE LEGIBLE READING FONT used! I don't have to strain, and the quality of the paper is nice too ... not flimsy.
I'm almost 100 pages into it so far. EASY READING; reminds me of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY where you can't put it down!
You've got a great writing style.
I had looked for a photo of you on the cover or in the book, but I understand now WHY you don't have one of yourself in there since you explained that well.
Once I receive notice if my BCBS will pay around $3,000 of my 4-20-06 new LLMD & extensive body lab testings, will I decide when I can buy my personal copy of your book.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION: Buy a copy for your school' library!
PJ said she would have good rates for copies to congress/your state's legislative staff/organizations.
I don't know about libraries. Just wanted to pass along my tips to you all. Time for me to quit for tonight/early morning, and go read more of pj's book.... Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
