Lyme Disease's effects on people, 21 October 2009
9/10
Author: nryane from Canada

How many people have symptoms that have no easy diagnosis? How many family members suffer untold agony, lose their jobs and social standing, just because of a bite from an insect? Many more than the medical community would have us know.

Under Our Skin gives us some insight about the devastation of Lyme Disease, by following the lives of a few Lyme Disease sufferers.

As a woman who is recovering from Lyme Disease, I KNOW these people, empathize with them, share some of their stories.

Under Our Skin gives the viewer insights that may help give them an "AHA!" moment, which could help themselves or a loved one to find a diagnosis and treatment.
