Sharon uses her teaching experience to help in educating and advocating on Lyme Disease and the other tick-borne diseases.

Her latest and most recent project was her book, Making a Pearl from the Grit of Life. This was her first book. “It allows us to follow Sharon Rainey on a very private path of early trauma. It leads us through depths of the human spirit – depths we come to recognize as very much like our own – and, through hard-won lessons, emerge onto a higher place of inner strength and happiness.”

PearlGrit“If my life had been easy I would have been short-changed. Now I thank God for the challenges. They forced me to leave the path I was on – one that led deeper into disappointment – and to find the path of spirit.

“My world is not perfect. I suspect the world is not meant to be perfect. But today my life is truly like a pearl, more beautiful than I could have imagined.” –Sharon E. Rainey

She is currently working on a book that will be coming soon, this Fall 2011. “A book that both Lyme patients and physicians will be referring to. Lyme warrior Sharon Rainey and her Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD) are co-authoring a book about Lyme disease; how to get proper testing and effective treatment. And, how to get through testing and treatment!

Learn how Sharon navigated through multiple misdiagnoses to finally discover she, her husband, and their son, all had Bartonella, a co-infection of Lyme disease. Find out how Sharon and her family found the best physicians, the most effective treatment, and how they got through the ordeal together.
