One way to look at today's guest is that if he were a zebra, he would have extra stripes because, unfortunately, he has more than one rare condition, which is a first for a guest in our Year of the Zebra series.

Having a child with a complex illness can be especially challenging for parents because of differing opinions among providers about causes, symptoms and treatments for disorders such as long COVID and chronic Lyme. “A common theme I would hear from parents is that they really had to push their providers to consider Lyme.

His fellow guest on this episode of Raise the…
