Episode 17: What’s Biting You? The Complexities of Lyme Disease

When Dr. Kristin Reihman was bit by a tick and developed a characteristic bullseye rash, she knew she had Lyme disease. When it happened again seven years later, however, her reaction to the incident was quite different because during that time she had learned about the complexities of the bacteria, how it’s transmitted, the in/effectiveness of tests, and new treatment guidelines. After years of treating patients with Lyme disease and other complex illnesses, Dr. Reihman provides her personal and professional insights for how she addresses an illness that remains difficult to diagnose and treat. In this podcast she provides suggestions for how to have conversations about Lyme disease with your clinician and where to go for resources, a Lyme doctor, and treatment guidelines…hint, it’s all in one place!
