Finding Resilience through Lyme Disease with Dorothy Leland and Rachel Leland

This is episode 21 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 Rachel Leland and Dorothy Leland, authors of "Finding Resilience: A Teen's Journey Through Lyme Disease." Rachel and Dorothy discuss their interactions with friends, the medical community, school administrators, and the global Lyme community, while learning about Lyme disease and how it was affecting Rachel during her formative years. It's a fascinating story of a young girl's journey to understand the impact of a mysterious disease that affects tens of millions around the globe, and how her mother, who has become a leading figure in the tick-borne illness community, struggled to learn what she needed to support her daughter.
