I hung up on Mitt's call. I wish I would have listened now. What time do you think it will be? I am an independent and am interested to see what is said.

Are you being serious about the debate and addressing Lyme issues tonight?
I really did speak with President Obama at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Reno in July. My father who works for the VFW was able to get my family and I backstage passes to have a family photo taken with him after his speech to the veterans.
During that time backstage, my father mentioned to President Obama that I am battling chronic Lyme disease and I have been terribly ill for years. My 2 little boys and husband were with me.
He was wonderful in his response to my family and me about how he is very aware of what is going on with Lyme, etc. and that he knows there is a need for more research. He said he felt terrible about our situation (the answer was a perfect politician's answer of what we wanted to hear, I know this). BUT he seemed very genuine and concerned in his response to us. He even mentioned Senator Blumenthal to us without us mentioning anything to him.
We met and took a photo with Mitt Romney the next day (he spoke the 2nd day of the VFW convention) and did NOT mention Lyme because we were rushed through. I REALLY wish we would've now!
Not talking politics here...just the fact that we did actually discuss Lyme with President Obama and it was an honor for my family to have a picture taken with the President of the United States, as well as the Governor of MA.
So, I'm just wondering if they will really address Lyme in tonight's debate?? I would be amazed!

I love debates. Thanks Tincup, I hope you're right about them discussing lyme.

I am an editor and I edit tons of political articles on a weekly basis. I would not get your hopes up that Lyme will be discussed in any debates. Obviously health care will be, but a serious discussion that mentions much about lyme is TREMENDOUSLY unlikely. Jess.

You're probably right Jess.

Catgirl, trust me on this-it will not happen. As I said, I edit mainly political pieces and this is a silly thread, really. I hate to see anyone get their hopes up over something that is just not going to happen. I also think this thread should be moved out of medical ASAP. Jess.
