The House of Representatives will be discussing the Lyme Bill the first part of next year. Please start writing them now. They need to be swamped with letters from us.

I we don't stand up for ourselves no one else will. I have written 2 so far but plan to continue sending letters from now till whenever. We can stand together and bring awareness.

Also my regular GP ask to borrow a copy of "Under Our Skin" from me. WOW! I am going to drop it by his office next week. Another girl in my area also has loaned her copy out to her GP. All of this is a start and a way to spread the word.

Do you have an address?

What should we mention in the letter?

I don't know anything about the Lyme Bill.

Do you have information on the Lyme Bill so I can send it to my congressman? Things like bill number or however those old farts classify things.

all, please read this entire post in ACTIVISM

http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=000940

the bill nos are shown, WHO HAS CO-SPONSORED ... so if your state has signed on...PLEASE THANK THEM for standing up for you....

i believe there is other info there.

otherwise, make your letters 1 page in length; they don't read otherwise.

tell about Your own experiences: how long you've had it, MISDIAGNOSED HOW MANY YRS. AND BY HOW MANY DRS.,

your FINANCIAL burden of health insurance not paying their fair share for appts, treatments, and meds.

give full name
complete mailing address

phone no. , and your EMAIL addy!

happy letter writing!

there is also another GOOD post there started by TINCUP with many replies. it gives the 4 phone nos. we were calling daily!!

1 is especially good; you get to leave a 2 minute message !! hope you take the time to look for it ok.

anyone finding it, please copy the link here for others; no time in my schedule right now...
