He read every book on Lyme, joined Facebook groups, attended webinars and podcasts and quickly realized that he knew hardly anything about what Lyme disease survivors go through on a daily basis.
So, he wrote this book.
As Fred says in the book, where there is love, there is hope. With proper medical treatment.
In this groundbreaking book, written specifically for those who love and want to support a chronic illness survivor better, Fred covers the You Need to Know about Lyme DiseaseNeurological ConcernsThe Little Things You Can Do to Make Everyone’s Life EasierCovering Family ActivitiesGluten-Free Diets and NutritionThe Six Stages of HealingThe Costs of Curing Lyme DiseaseThis book will offer those who love someone with Lyme ideas and tips to support this beloved person.
The book features a foreword by the preeminent Lyme doctor, Dr. Richard Horowitz.
Dr. Horowitz said in his Foreword, “Let this book be a rudder for your ship during difficult times. If you persist and never give up in the name of love, hope will find a strong foundation, and your life, and the life of your loved one, will be all the more enriched because of it.”
“This is the book everyone who loves a person with Lyme disease or any chronic illness needs to read. What a beautiful guide to navigating the journey in a better and more supportive way as a partner.” Amy B. Scher, author of This Is How I Save My Searching the World for a A Lyme Disease Memoir
“Love, Hope, Lyme is as an excellent resource for patients and their families who are beginning the long and difficult Lyme journey. It is filled with excellent information, and it would be great if it could reach as many Lyme-suffering families as possible.” Dr. Neil Nathan, author of Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness
"This is one of the most important books on chronic illnesses I've ever read -- and the only one I know of specifically for navigating a spouse's chronic illness." Yessi Young, author of It's Not Just Understanding the Metabolism's Role in Fighting Chronic Infections
“Fred Diamond has done a great service to the Lyme community by writing Love, Hope, Lyme. People with chronic illness need support—often physical support, but always emotional support, and Fred details the ways wives, husbands, and friends can help those who have chronic Lyme disease. I agree with Fred that hope is key, and when Lyme patients themselves feel hopeless, loved ones can hold it for them with compassion and love. Most people with chronic Lyme get better, and sometimes they need to be reminded of that on a daily basis. Fred gives an excellent overview of how you can help a loved one with this illness.” Daniel A. Kinderlehrer MD, author of Recovery from Lyme The Integrative Medicine Guide to Diagnosing and Treating Tick-Borne Illness

If someone you love has Lyme disease, I urge you to read this book. It will help you understand and support them. We need to get the CDC, the politicians, and medical community better informed about Chronic Lyme! People with Chronic Lyme are not getting the needed treatments, nor does insurance cover this.

If you search for Lyme disease on any book search you will find how to heal guides written by doctors and you will find personal memoirs written by survivors or caregivers but you will not find the type of book Fred wrote….a book about how someone who is not suffering from Lyme can help and relate to their friend, loved one, coworker, who is suffering.
I have been on multiple sides of Lyme. I have been a caregiver to a child with chronic Lyme. I run a nonprofit dedicated to providing financial assistance to those with Lyme and now I am a person living with and healing from chronic Lyme. I wish I had this book to better understand how my daughter felt and how I could support her better when she was at her sickest. I wish that people close to me would read this book to understand that while my symptoms don’t look the same as my daughter’s, they have impacted my life profoundly. Support from friends and family would mean the world to me. We need to support Lyme patients as much, possibly more than we need to support those living with other severe illnesses/diseases like MS or cancer, but sadly that is rarely the case.
Thank you Fred for writing this book so beautifully. Thank you for listing practical ways to support someone with Lyme. Thank you for making those in the Lyme community feel heard and seen and cared for. Your book is touching lives and giving hope.

An excellent read - especially for loved ones of someone fighting Lyme disease. As current Lyme Warrior - I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about a Lyme Warrior. Read it to learn how to best support that Lyme Warrior.

Well researched, well written, very informative for a population very underserved. Kuddos to Fred Diamond for writing this much needed book.
