The Lyme Dilemma: How to Advocate for Your Lyme Treatment and Convince Your Doctor to Help You

Patient advocacy is a process of influencing decisions and policies to get what you need to treat your Lyme disease symptoms. Dr. Arcoma Gonzalez Lambert, a licensed naturopathic doctor for almost ten years, leads you through the process of advocating for your own treatment. She answers the pertinent questions so that you feel confident going to your doctor and assessing his openness to testing and treatment. She advises you on how to go about circumventing the problems that come up along the way, and the range of possible solutions. It is like having a best friend who, hand-in-hand, helps you through the process. She brings you inside the mystery of the medical system.
Using her hand-in-hand process, she gives you options when the process gets mired, alternatives to consider, and the knowledge to pursue treatment so that you CAN feel normal again. She will teach you what your doctor needs in order to take action, how to supply the information to him, and how to alleviate your symptoms along the way. This process is sort of like the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books. Skip to the pages you need. Read the pages you really need over and over again. Find what resonates with your situation and allow it to inform you on the next step.
