This is a great chance to help a Columbia student working on her Master's degree gain an insight on our personal experiences getting diagnosed & treated with Lyme disease.
If you have any questions, email Alison directly (her email is below)
My name is Alison Schwarzwalder and I'm a graduate student in Public Health at Columbia University. For one of my courses I'm conducting a survey with patients who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease as part of a larger project to characterize patient care and physician interaction with regards to this specific illness.
Why this topic? Let's just say both professional interest and personal experience. If you have been diagnosed with Lyme at some point in your life and have 15 minutes to spare, I would greatly appreciate if you would complete my online survey at:
I'm not collecting any personal or identifying information so your responses will remain confidential In addition, if you are in contact with other Lyme patients who might also be interested and willing, please pass along this email as well.
Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments at: [email protected].
Thanks so much!

Thanks Gail, I did the survey yesterday when you posted. I think it took maybe 10 minutes. (I didn't actually time myself or count the questions. )
I'd love to see the results when she's done. Thanks!

gee, am i the only one with dial-up taking extra time going from 1 screen to another?
remember, i did turn 1 year older march 24? nope, i didn't think you would buy that.
would be nice if she came on here and explained why she is doing the survey and what she will do ith our answers. i have no time to email her directly. just a thought since someone emailed me by pm about this project. Posted by chroniccosmic (Member # 7789) on :

Completed. Very good questions in there. I see what she is getting at. Glad to know it is being done.

I also completed her questionaire. I am sending her info to other people so that they can access her survey. I see the direction in which she is moving with her survey. I wonder if she could post aliitle about the results she obtains. Would be really interested in that. C'mon everybody get on board.

finally able to take the survey. Very lyme friendly....meaning easy for a person with lyme disease to participate cognitively and visually.

I don't know how long it took me, but I did it.
And I saw you on TV a while ago didn't I? We met on the bus ride up to New York.
Blessings, Carol

Yep Cobweb we met on the bus!!!
How are you???
Yes, I was on t.v. a few weeks ago, channel 21 out of Harrisburg........me and my chronic lyme dog ......plus they showed a family pic of all of us since we all have Lyme and TBD's.
Also the same day got to do a live program with WITF public t.v. in Hbg. with a well known lyme literate doc!! But I don't know if you get that where you live?? It was awesome!!
