In the first interview in Odyssey of the Body, I talk with Jana Steck, author of "The Battle Within: My Lyme Story" about her decades of illness, her 2+ years of treatment, and how she emerged with a memoir.
Such an enlightening interview. And immense congratulations to Jana for fighting the tough fight - not just with the vexing disease but the disbelieving and, sad to say, condescending medical system. Dr. Jemsek is one chronic Lyme truth-speaker whose career was almost annihilated by the thug NC medical board. I hope your recovery is firmly established. Please do continue to speak your truth, both so that patients can get the attentive and informed care they need, and that excellent docs are not threatened by industry-influenced medical boards.

Thankyou Brianne for allowing Jana to her story, and thankyou Jana for being so vulnerable and honest with your story.
