Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection transmitted by a tick
bite and is best treated early with antibiotics. However, many people
suffer from chronic relapsing Lyme disease, which can cause a variety of
physical and psychiatric symptoms: recurrent fever, fatigue, muscle and
joint stiffness, poor coordination, lightheadedness, mood swings, and
depression. In the User's Guide, health authors James Gormley and Caren
Feingold Tishfield, R.D., explain how to best avoid Lyme disease and how
to benefit from safe treatments.
