CONNECTICUT RESIDENTS ONLY!

PETITION FOR ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE MEDICAL CARE FOR PATIENTS!

Treatment guidelines now determine your medical treatment options. Patients need guidelines that are developed without commercial interests or industry bias.

Sign this petition to urge Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to hold medical societies accountable for their guidelines by continuing his historic fight against the vested interests of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).

All patients need access to effective medical care. If you are a Connecticut resident, click on the link below to sign the petition or to download a paper petition for distribution.

Let your voice be heard!

My LLMD gave me this petition and I emailed it to all my friends and family. I live in Ct but have to drive to NY everyday for treatment. It's exhausting! My insurance is changing soon so maybe I can get a PIC line for the Rocephrin.

That's great that you got signatures from everyone you know. Please keep it up.

For people who don't live in CT, please email everyone you know in CT and ask them to sign up online at www.lymealert.org

For people who don't live in CT and don't know anyone in Ct, try sending the following email to all your friends:

Dear friends,

Please help me and all Lyme patients - this urgent petition needs to reach everyone in Connecticut.

Please forward to all your Connecticut contacts, or anyone with friends or relatives in CT.

I have an idea for people who live in Connecticut but can't, for any reason, bring around a petition for signatures. There is a great flyer that you can ask storekeepers to leave on the counters for people to take, or put in car windows in a parking lot, etc. Download and print it from here:

But, of course, if you're in CT and want to get signatures on the petition, you can download and print it from here:
