Then, how about a bunch of letters to Ladies Home Journal thanking
them for writing this article about Lyme--and the IDSA/ILADS
controversy. How about including your personal story--in a few lines?
If they get enough response, maybe they'll do something more.

Dear Susan,

Thank you for writing to Ladies' Home Journal. We are glad that you appreciated our recent article on Lyme disease. It's such a shame that so many people have to deal with this and we sincerely hope that this article will bring more attention to the subject.

Thank you for your support, and we wish you the very best.

What a thoroughly fine job of presenting the realities of Lyme Disease to your readers! I intend to let friends & relatives know they should buy their own copy to further their education about the difficulties LD involves, and how to take proactive steps to prevent it. Please continue the good work of bringing this issue to the nation's attention. Now if only we could get the American Medical Society to make it required reading!

Sincerely,
