My bet is we can get 5,000 signatures by Valentines Day!!!! (For you guys out there, that is February 14.)
If you don't want the IDSA guidelines to be blocking your way to getting treatment- SIGN ON NOW!!!!!
Lymedisease.org (formerly CALDA) is taking the lead on this effort, so we know it is a good deal for us.
Link to petition is below... (I would advise clicking the anonymous button before submitting your name- safety first!)
LYMEPOLICYWONK: SIGN THE PETITION TO TAKE DOWN THE IDSA GUIDELINES!
24 Jan
Medical treatment guidelines are tremendously important in determining your treatment options. All important treatment guidelines are listed by the National Guidelines Clearinghouse (NGC), which is part of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
It�s the government�s way of providing updated information about different diseases to health care professionals. NGC�s own rules require that listed guidelines be updated every 5 years.

The signatures are pouring in - every time I look, they've jumped in number. Since this can also be signed internationally, spread the word out there!

I see about 100 an hour have been coming in - 12 more hours, or less, for 5000 on our new Valentine's day, January 26!
Oh well, blossoms are already coming out, so why not? Today, we can send Lyme Valentines to everyone who signed it or who will...Is a Lyme Valentine a Valenlyme?

I imagine the 5000th person must have had a special pleasure in doing so, and of course, following everyone else who came to the site to cast their vote against guidelines that don't work for anyone -
time to move on, as they say in Moveon and lots of other organizations for social justice...

I have a new prediction - 45 minutes later, it's already at 5100 - I think we might make 6000 by midnight PST!
