<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Russ and Nicole Bell were an upwardly mobile happy couple: two kids, big house, fun hobbies, marvelous life. But something wasn't quite right-with Russ. He started forgetting things, he got lost, he became enraged, he was harsh with the kids. And he could no longer be trusted with minor responsibilities.</p><p> </p><p> They visited doctor after doctor after doctor to try to determine what was wrong, to no avail. "Alzheimer's," they were told, but that didn't make sense. Russ was too young for that. As the formerly brilliant engineer literally lost his mind and his self, the answer finally became clear-but was it in time?</p><p> </p><p> In this beautifully written but tragic memoir, Nicole Bell documents their journey through the medical minefield as they searched for answers and treatments. This book will inspire people who are suffering from chronic, symptom-based illnesses to dig deeper, so they can find and treat the root causes of their disease before it's too late.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Readers may be mistaken in thinking that Bell's memoir will interest only those whose lives have been affected by Lyme disease.
