Teen Overcoming Debilitating Disease and Helping Others to do the Same

Norfolk, NE, July 21, 2005 --(PR.com)-- The Endorfs were a typical American family until Sarah mysteriously became ill. Their lives were turned upside down as they spent many weeks going to doctors who could not diagnose Sarah’s suffering based on symptoms that ranged from severe weight loss and hallucinations to excruciating pain and fatigue. The seventh doctor finally diagnosed Sarah with Lyme disease, a potentially life threatening disease transmitted through tick bites.

Sarah is hardly the only one suffering from this terrible disease; in 2002 alone 23,763 cases of Lyme were reported - more than in any previous year. Despite this alarming increase in cases, its conditions and consequences remain mostly a mystery to many - even to the medical community.

Sarah has been in recovery for over a year and has made great strides. Through this ordeal Sarah has learned that even the most difficult life situations can be transformed with a positive outlook and the support of a loving family. After the Rain is a testament to that. After the Rain provides practical guidance and information about Lyme disease as well as encouragement and support for anyone facing adversity of any type.
