This is what I just sent to Oprah! Let's hope that SOMEONE will read it and get to her!!
Dear Oprah,
I recently sent you a package of information on Lyme Disease, asking you to consider doing a show (or two) on this awful disease. So many of us have this, so little is said about it, so much is needed to be said. It is spreading as fast (sometimes faster) than AIDS and is largely ignored, or misdiagnosed. I was one of the latter, I was being told that I had MS, and I knew that I didn't. I was right, but it took a few years to find the right doctor, and a lot of damage was done to my immune system. Oprah, you do SO MUCH GOOD IN THIS WORLD--PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider doing a show on this awful disease. You would not only help us, you would help save a lot of pain and many lives.
Thank you so very much,
Cookie Rufino

Cuchamonga!
I thought that our family was the only one in the world that said cuchamonga.
Cucamonga is a nickname from when I was a baby!!! Like Cookie--which ended up being my everything name (as an actor, too!)... My real name is lovely (Elena) but, never felt like me!
XX Cookie!
