Monica Miller called this morning to ask me to express her gratitude to the Lyme community for our grass roots effort.
She asked me to assure you that she and the bill's sponsors are commited to introducing a bill into the legislature this January that will be passed and signed. Ellen

A thought occurred to me that if all our efforts to have a Bill past to protect doctors treating Lyme; that is not the only Tick-Borne disease.nd few, if any, only have borreliosis. The application should reflect the co-infections that are found with Lyme in so many patients, and the common ones named. Lyme is just Lyme to the OPMC and they have no idea of the suffering that is caused when there is a combination of other dangerous pathogens associated with it. Asking for a Bill to be past just for Lyme is unlikely to receive the attention it deserves. Ted
