This is episode 26 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast.
Fred Diamond's popular book, "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know" offers those who love someone with persistent or chronic Lyme ideas and tips to support this beloved person. It also helps Lyme survivors know how to ask for support.
On today’s podcast, Fred interviews the team behind the seminal report "Medical Gaslighting and Lyme Disease: The Patient Experience."
When Fred was doing the research for his popular book “Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know,” he had no idea how frequently Lyme survivors were being gaslighted by medical practitioners. Some of the people he spoke with said they had to go to dozens of doctors before they were finalizing, and authentically, diagnosed with Lyme disease.
This interview, with academics and longtime Lyme disease advocates talk about the details in the report and what impact they expect the report to have.
If someone you love has been afflicted with Lyme disease, watch this podcast now. If you have Lyme disease, listen for ways to get the support you need. The e-version of Fred's book is always free for Lyme survivors. Just reach out to Fred on Facebook or LinkedIn.
