Please take 2 minutes to sign the The New York State Petition To Stop Lyme Disease

This may help us get more than the standard 4 weeks IV meds.

Your LAST name is optional
Thank you...Rich

Be warned if you sign the petition your name and home address appears online for the world to see...

And they are suppose to be sending it to the IDSA directly, with your personal information.

Do you REALLY want that to happen?

In the meantime, I believe they may be pulling this petition off line shortly? Will let you know when I hear more.

Tincup,

No offense, but I don't give a crap who sees my information.

Where I live, Lyme is completely out of control & we are all tired of fighting this battle.....Rich

Hey,

Glad you don't care. That's great.

But others might care and others very much do care.

So I shared the warning for those who may have signed on and regretted it later because they didn't know that their personal information would be displayed publicly or given to the IDSA, legislators or others.

And I agree... I am also VERY tired of fighting this battle. For all of our sakes, may it soon be over.

We just got word via the originator of the petition that this petition will be withdrawn .. and possibly a new one will be offered.

Glad they are willing to help patients with this sticky situation.
