It's not much and it's not ideal, BUT there is a blurb in the recent People (the one with Britney Spear's wedding photos) about Jamie-Lynn DiScala of The Sopranos. (It's on page 99.)

There's a photo of her that says "DiScala battles a double dose of disorders." The blurb then says, "The Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn DiScala, 23, revealed that she suffers from severe migraines as well as attention deficit disorder. The actress says she is being treated with medication and attributes her conditions to a tick bite that gave her Lyme disease six years ago."

I feel as if she/they don't make the Lyme connection quite strong enough, but nonetheless, it is some more fairly accurate press. There seems to be more and more. Maybe there's hope?

Hi,

I have noticed there seem to be alot more articles coming out about Lyme.

The other day there was one in a Parenting mag. in the dr's office. It was only a few paragraphs long but at least it was in there.

Maybe the word is finally spreading just wish it would spread as fast as the disease.
