Don't know if this is old news by now - but wanted to share the news just in case...!!
Last night as I was scrolling thru Netflix (online via my Wii console) - I almost started screaming with the giddy excitement of a little girl ...
"Under Our Skin" is on Netflix!!!
I was SO thrilled.... Yet it was bittersweet - - because everyone else in my house slept thru this most exciting moment since it was 3 am....
I mean GEEZ Who would've ever anticipated seeing a Lyme disease documentary listed under NEW ARRIVALS sitting next to a mainstream movie?!? Who would've thunk it?
Just realizing this movie would now be available for ALL THE WORLD to see! (the world with a Netflix acct..) - well I confess - I peed on myself a little ... Ok, a little more than I normally do...
What a wonderful tool this is to help friends & family - the ones you may still be talking to - they can FINALLY have a better understanding of the quality of life, or rather lack of, that we poor lymebrains lead!
((Maybe NOW my inlaws will embrace me as the strong, long-suffering sickly yet superb superwoman that I really am instead of the whiny, lazy*** haggard ol hypochondriac they �see me as now!! YES, I'm a woman with big dreams!))
For those without a Netflix account - you can sign up & get the 1st month FREE to try it out!
My understanding is that right now Netflix doesn't have the actual DVDs available yet; BUT we can watch it INSTANTLY streaming to computer, or TV via internet-connection, or thru iPhone/iPad. It don't get no better than FREE and INSTANTLY, right?
I am truly thrilled-to-the-bone about this because this (theoretically) puts OUR reality with this disease - OUR STORIES - and not just the theories of 2 medical factions battling like David & Goliath - our actual experiences can finally be heard by millions!!
Now the TRUTH can reach the general population AND other medical peeps cuz Netflix has a bigger audience than the IDSA! Yee-haw!!
THANK GOD!!!
And THANK YOU --THANK YOU to Open Eye Production, Netflix, and all the weary yet courageous souls who shared their stories for the film.
