In case you haven't been to medical-check out this post .She needs your vote.
Here's a copy of the first post on May 1st.
"This morning I saw a segment on Good Morning America asking viewers to vote for their Picture of Health Candidate out of five.
Maria Ruoff is one of them-a cancer survivor and managing Chronic Lyme Disease. I didn't get her full story-but this surely would put Chronic Lyme out there in the media.
The contest was sponsored by Prevention Magazine-so I imagine there will be something in the mag,too.

You won't feel so isolated if she wins and Chronic Lyme becomes a household word.
Hard for the IDSA to deny it then!

I voted! but she is really far behind, so we ALL need to vote! (she had 900 and was in 4th place, the 1st place had over 3000) so get voting people!
It would be wonderful publicity for chronic lyme and the money would be donated to a lyme disease charity.

I voted a few days ago.
Maybe it's spring fever--people are outside? But it's a shame.
It only takes a sec, everybody!
