Anyone else see it? Interesting that they sure made it seem as though research was a top priority and that it was being done and that the IDSA definitely thinks people are sick, and they want to make them better.....

All in all, I feel both sides were represented, but even the guest Dr seemed to be more on our side.......I feel like all of the piece was more on our side actually (for once!)

Any thoughts?

I thought it was positive that they showed clips from "Under MY Skin" (brodcaster blooper) AND I think it's great that it was even on GMA.

However, I thought the woman's info was a bit misleading. 80% get a bulls eye rash? One treatment of abx, sometimes a month? Uh, ok, bob-cut lady.

I'm mean. I'm grateful for ANY work put into this...that lady just rubbed me the wrong way.

I give it a grade of B-.

Sorry...you know I'm a positive and supportive person. I guess any exposure is good exposure (no pun intended).

I missed seeing Pam Weintraub. I think her verbiage would have made a difference.

Every little piece helps, though so thanks so much to anyone involved getting it on there in the first place!!

Best,

It looks like the video segments are put online the next day, so look for it tomorrow. But here is the link to the written report:
