Hi everyone, I posted a message about the documentary "Under our Skin" under "activism" but was hoping to get more views here..
WNIN (PBS) in Southern IN has committed to broadcasting the Documentary, here is their response to my email inquiry:
"The program is scheduled to air on 9.1 WNIN PBS on 5/12/11 at 8pm and again on 5/18/11 at 9pm. Thanks for any promotion you can provide."
Hope this helps someone, pass it on to anyone that maybe interested, Thanks, RR

Hey, I live in Southern Indiana near Louisville, KY, and our PBS station is KET.
I emailed them about showing it and am waiting for an answer.
I don't have cable or satellite, so probably won't be able to watch it on the station you listed.
Still it is great news.

Roger, I can't begin to count the number of people I've had contact with since '02 on lymenet from your area.
There used to be a doctor in Evansville that treated lyme patients. Memory serves me right, he was elderly and retired his practice.
Western Ky like Owensboro up river into your area, I bet I've had contact with 30 people or more. Lately, Southern IN people have been in Seeking a Doctor over and over again.
I guess them darn ticks crossed the river from IN and made there way into KY. We'll blame the Hoosiers. lol

Pam..... NOTHING from IN goes to KY(except to enjoy Lake Barkley or KY Lake)... ~
There was a doc in Eville that had a Lyme office but he was a bit shady from what I heard... he shut it down and doesn't accept Lyme patients anymore..
I know of a few people here in S. IN that have become ill and been hospitalized, treated with iv antibiotics for weeks and slowly got better...
all the while the doc's never knew what was wrong.
the only infectious disease doc I have seen here locally said there was no such thing as chronic Lyme..
I told him about my night sweats as 1 of many symptoms and all he told me to do was take my temp in the mornings for a month and come back for another appointment.
there has been a steady increase in "unexplained" illnesses here in S IN that fit the Lyme pattern...
I hope this documentary helps shed some light...

This is interesting. My hometown is in southern Indiana. I desperately want to move back. Mostly to escape tick land here in Connecticut. But I guess it is a pretty big problem there too.
I'll have to convince the rest of my family that there is Lyme where they live too. Are there any support groups in the Evansville area?

Anyone contact WENH-TV Ch. 11 in Durham, NH? I don't see it anywhere on the schedule. Think I'll call 'em up! (I'm in Dover ;-)
P.S: Ch. 2 WGBH in Boston didn't have anything come up on a "schedule search" either. :-(~

Roger, that wasn't nice my dear. If you go to Land Between Lakes, Barkley or Nolin Lake, I'd bet the farm you'd come away with Hoosier ticks.
I know it was a Hoosier tick that got me at Nolin Lake.
