Thank you for posting this link. I'm going to tell the doctors I see who care, but are not LLMD. I'll tell my LLMD, too! Friends and family also. Thanks.

RDay - why the tone? Obviously some others haven't seen the previous post (if there is one).

I just wrote my local TV station and asked them to air it, stressing how important it is that LD patients have validation, understanding, and above all help. And what an important role their airing of the documentary could play.
Please do the same.
It's easy.
Just go to the website linked above. Click on it. See the link to your own local PBS broadcast station. Then contact them by email.
It takes about 3 minutes or less.
We need not feel helpless at all. Be encouraged, not discouraged!
More things we can do:
a) Post the above link all over the internet, virally
b ) Ask other readers to seed it around the web, while also asking readers to contact their local PBS station as above.
c) Email the above link to every friend you can think of. Ask them to email it around too, post it to the internet on blogs, etc.
d) Show this to your local Congress person or Senator. Ask them for proactive help and public outreach funding.
e) Show this to your doctor, ask them to send it around. They can leaflet patients?
f) If doctors are asked to contact PBS that would carry a ton of impact.
There is lots we can do.
Please spread word virally.
Thanks!
Best wishes, CI

You are correct. Everyone should write to their PBS station. This film should be available for everyone in the country to see.
Spread the word where ever you can. Facebook, etc. It's Lyme awareness month and here is a chance for us to make sure as many people can see this film as possible and to help make as many people as possible aware of this film.
I plan on sending this schedule to everyone on my address book and asking those who live in a state where it is not airing to write to their PBS station.
