Hey there! I’m Lori Smith, author of several books (A Walk With Jane Austen, Jane Austen’s Guide to Life, The Single Truth), and Lyme disease survivor.
Almost 25 years ago, I worked a demanding more-than-full-time job, wrote in the evenings and on weekends, took ballet a couple times a week, went on backpacking trips, volunteered with my church, and had an active social life.
Then I got very sick.
Six years later, I finally got a diagnosis: Lyme disease, with multiple co-infections.
