Passing this along...

"North Pocono Middle School's auditorium will host a Lyme disease awareness day on Saturday, May 11.
The event will start at 1 p.m. with an informal

period during which the public can meet Lyme disease patients and mingle, followed by a screening of the documentary "Under Our Skin."

Dr. C of NY, a Lyme disease specialist, will speak at 3:30 p.m., and researcher John Darcy

will speak at 4:15 p.m., followed by a 4:45 p.m. question-and-answer session.

"My first impression of Lyme disease was that it was a simply diagnosed illness, and then just as

easily cured," said Karen Thomas, an organizer of the event whose husband, Eric, suffers from Lyme disease. "I, however, was horribly mistaken.

I never would have dreamed it was such a controversial illness, and one extremely difficult to treat. ... Years have passed, and the disease

has left us struggling daily with Eric's physical ailments, our emotional pain and financial stress."
