Thought it was great ! Typical Larry but how many times have we suggested to other people it could be lyme, they have it, they test positive and we never hear from them again. Not even a thank you.
Sad but true.

I thought it was masterfully done. For an irreverent comedy bit, covering a controversial illness, he managed to be really funny, AND blast a lot of info out there about actual LYME FACTS. I remember seeing this and feeling honored that Larry David was looking out for me, but when I rewatched this clip, it hit me that they actually educated a few million people. She said "they're telling me it's all in my head which is bs....."
How many people do you think got tested after seeing this? Even if it was one or two, I think coverage like this helps.
I'm sure I am being presumptuous here, but it seems like Larry David was touched by someone who had it. How would he know what he knows? Why would he choose to work all that info into a bit? I know despite his persona, he is supposed to be a very compassionate and charitable person.... But I don't know any of this. Just happy to see the joke not being on us for a change!

I'm not so sure she's cured. Lots of lyme rage going on there (or maybe she's just an angry person).
But it was educational. Thanks lymeboy.
