I visit your board daily as my brother was diagnosed with Advanced Lyme Dec 04. I have learned alot from all of you - the information is great! Makes me feel more capable of understanding and helping him!
I saw the post about House Bill 1534 and e-mailed my senator to vote YES (It was a rather lenghty e-mail once I got started!)
My question - has a Senator actuall ever called any of you???? I got home from work today to a message with his phone # and to please return the call...called he was tied up and I was told he would return my call. I am just wondering what I can expect when do connect with him. I am anxious to hear what he has to say, but don't want to be caught off guard.
Any input appreciated - we need all the help we can get fighting this disease, I want to be preapred for whatever he sends my way!
Thanks!

Sure, the Senators call me everyday.
No, actually I am intriqued. When you talk to the senator please tell him to do all he/she can to support a similar bill in the senate and to get it thru this year.

Hi Lyme Sis, This is the bill in the Pennsylvania legislature, right? So many bills out, I get confused.
The main thing to remember is that whenever you don't know the answer to his question, just tell him that and that you will get back to him.
Remember you are a relative of a patient and you don't have to be a lawyer or a doctor here. Ellen

Yes it is the one in PA Legislature. I made it very clear I was asking on the behalf of a loved one. Although I have learned ALOT - I am not nearly as educated as alot of you folks, thus the nervousness - I truly have the Lyme Victim's best interests at heart. I guess I'll have to wait and see where it goes.....wish me luck!

Lyme Sis,
Which Sen. S was it that called you? I called both Sen. Santorum and Sen. Spector and didn't get any reply. I emailed Sen. Greenleaf and got a personal letter.

joprit - It was Sen. Joseph Scarnati that called me - his hometown is about 20 miles from mine. Suppose that had something to do with it???? I kinda' wondered that myself....
