Awesome, even if it falls on deaf ears.

it's a .pdf file so you need Adobe Reader (most cpu's have it) if not it's a free download.

The obituaries at the end are a powerful reminder of how serious this disease is.

I found my post! I am on the first page of comments! Hopefully this will get something done!

This is great. Thanks to all who arranged this, and to those who commented.

I just wish we could do this kind of thing to bring attention to the NIH and CDC mishandling of this disease complex. That is where the trouble starts. The IDSA just carries out their wishes.

Thanks to ALL who worked on this very impressive, powerful document.

I urge everyone on this board to write a letter to the editor of their local paper about this epidemic. It WILL get published, just make sure you mail it by US mail, you use your real name, sign it, and include your phone# (they will call you for verification). I have done this

three times with different CT newspapers. You WILL get people calling you (if your phone# is listed), asking for information, referrals to Lyme docs, Lyme testing. Important to list all the conditions that Lyme can mimic.

Again, KUDOS to all who worked so hard on this. -Paulie

This is an amazing document. Many thanks to those of you who compiled it. I feel in my heart it is going to make a difference. Very powerful stuff... esp. the obituaries.

I was proud to see my own little paragraph in there. When I am feeling more able, I plan on writing a letter to the editor and more. Thanks to all who have tried to make a difference.
