   Under Our Skin is outstanding!

   Rebecca Nunno is a mother, sister, runner, friend and technical writer who
   also happens to have chronic Lyme disease.

   Like many with this debilitating disease she has suffered for years from a variety of physical, neurological
   and psychological symptoms before she was able to find an accurate diagnosis and safe and effective treatment plans.

   Nunno is now writing a book about Lyme disease and hopes to use what she has learned during her ten year struggle
   to help others.

   She would like to invite people who have the disease to send their personal
   stories for possible inclusion.

   Nunno is currently collecting Lyme disease case histories on her
   website entitled http://www.sickfromatick.com. If you are interested please forward your case.
