Modern medicine has made many advances, but don't be fooled. Not everything can be diagnosed, and not everything is diagnosed in time. Russ and Nicole Bell were an upwardly mobile happy couple: two kids, big house, fun hobbies, marvelous life. But something wasn't quite right-with Russ. He started forgetting things, he got lost, he became enraged, he was harsh with the kids. And he could no longer be trusted with minor responsibilities. They visited doctor after doctor after doctor to try to determine what was wrong, to no avail. "Alzheimer's," they were told, but that didn't make sense. Russ was too young for that. As the formerly brilliant engineer literally lost his mind and his self, the answer finally became clear. Lyme Disease. In this beautifully written but tragic memoir, Nicole Bell documents their journey through the medical minefield as they searched for answers and treatments. The purpose of this book is to inspire people who are suffering from chronic, symptom-based illnesses to dig deeper, so they can find and treat the root causes of their disease before it's too late.
