Rating: 5
Summary: very handy guide
Comment: Definitely a different book. I have just recently been diagnosed with lime disease and I found this book extremely helpful with learning about my disease.

Rating: 5
Summary: Found it useful
Comment: Since this is a compiliation of official sources, I found it a big save of time and quite terse. I think its a good book for someone who is new to the disease, or those who do not want to print hundreds of internet pages.

Rating: 2
Summary: Does not reflect real life patient experiences.
Comment: This book does have lots of sources of information about Lyme Disease, but little practical information for the patient about the disease. It gives lots of medical and governmental citations. It also gives lots of "vocabulary builders" that are helpful when trying to read technical medical research articles. The book, however, is very generic. It seems there are many books like this one for other illnesses. It has no feel for the patient's experience, it does not even hint at the very real controversies that surround this illness.

The back cover of the book says it best: it is not written from a layperson's/ patients point of view nor is it written from a clinical/ provider prospective, it is a "soucebook" of "official" and "peer-reviewed" medical literature. I would add the word "selective" to the previous statement. Also, place heavy emphasis on the word "Sourcebook", it tells you about where to go for information. Don't expect to get something this book is not. It is "A Reference Manual for Self-Directed Patient Research".
