Lyme Disease Is a Feminist Issue: An Interview With Sini Anderson

Commentary: Jessica Bernstein and Dr Dennis Bernstein did an article on the preponderance of women with Lyme disease and how this disease is spreading across the US. This article profiles a film maker, Sini Anderson, her struggle with Lyme, and the need for better testing and insurance coverage. The article highlights the number of women being affected, and the need for a comprehensive support system to help women who are too sick to advocate for themselves. I have reached out to insurance companies in the past to meet with them and help create guidelines that would improve the diagnosis and treatment of complex tick-borne illness, and lower health care costs. This took place recently, and also at the Congressional public forum sponsored by Congressman Chris Gibson 2 years ago.
