My sister sent this to me and I emailed the Author..he is accepting Word attachments or email. he also responded w/this.
I am hoping to collect as many stories as possible and weave them into a clear picture of exactly what patients are forced to deal with, insomuch as so-called "diagnoses", treatment "options" and the ignorance, arrogance and discrimination that surrounds this disease.
CALLING OUT FOR ALL LYME PATIENT STORIES....
Do you want your personal lyme story to be included in a new book by author PJ Langhoff? Then submit it now and be heard!
PJ Langhoff, author of "The Singing Forest, a Journey Through Lyme Disease", and other books is now collecting personal stories about lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses to complete a new book for publication.
If interested, please submit your stories by April 1, 2007. Include your name and indicate if you wish your name to be utilized or a pseudonym used, your city and state and your story about lyme. I will edit your story for content and to fit in the book.
This is not a book about doses and treatments, although those may be included if you wish. I will edit for relevance.
I am interested in the human side of lyme disease, how it makes the patient(s) feel, how it impacts the family and friends. If you have children with lyme, how it affects them in school, with their peers, and if you or an individual have/had problems with psychiatric lyme, there will be a section of the book dedicated to that topic as well.
This is a PERSONAL look at lyme disease from the one who knows it best, ITS PATIENTS.
Yes, problems obtaining physicians and treatments should be noted as well.
I thank you in advance for your contributions to this project. It is my hope that people everywhere will see the real faces of lyme disease. Participating together in a project such as this, is a great way to have your voice and story heard.
