Hi everyone,

I want to get my son on TV to talk about how he feels. I have only had a chance to contact Channel 12 news (cable station) in NJ already. Does anyone have any contacts in NJ, NY or Philadelphia.

I can't imagine they wouldn't want to air my situation.

My son will tell everyone how he isn't able to run anymore, or skip, ....He doesn't know why? He just says...... "Why can I not walk fast anymore? "And when can I have my pink medicine back???? (he has always taken liquid zithromax. And I almost fell off my chair when he asked for it a few weeks ago). He describes the pain in his hands as sharp points! He asked the infectious disease Doc I was order to see by DYFS "Why does my body feel to heavy for my legs, and why do my hands feel so sharp". This anti-Lyme Doc who hates our hero Dr. J said "Well at least he has a sense of imagination". Can you believe he didn't bother to examine my son's joints, sensory areas, etc.

Anyway, any media contacts would be appreciated.

I'm so sorry that I don't have any contacts for you. I just wondered - How did the DYFS get involved in your situation?

How did DYFS get involved.

My ex-husband's family and he, 3 1/2 years after we have been divorced, called them ten days after I finally told them DEFINITIVELY that I will never, ever be getting back together again with my ex. (We had all always remained friendly with eachother and in touch)

I guess DYFS doesn't find it odd that after all my son's Lyme treatment, my ex didn't mind until he got mad at this rejection.
