Nancy, Good point. I agree that the posts on this thread contribute to several goals as the title of the thread would inspire. Tincup did specifically ask for a catchy slogan that would reinforce ILADS' name but her title implies that we also need things for rallies, sound-bites for the press, as well as cards to pass out to the public, etc.
One thing that occured to me belately is that anything with an "I" (for example the "insist" that we were thinking would be good") is actually problematic because it is in the other guy's acronym too and could lead to the very confusion that we are hoping to avoid.

Why should those whose disinformation (the "hard to get, easy to treat" lie) that let to so many of us having chronic Lyme in the first place be the ones deciding how we can now be treated?

Here's another one for print. Still working towards a "chant".
I. D. S. A.
Intentionally Denying Serious Ailments
This is certainly not complete within itself, but I figured if I posted it, that others might be able to move it to the next stage. If we all post things as we think of them, then we can all work together to formulate something really good.
(I'll be back about 2 a.m. with the really good stuff. )

On a more positive note, maybe we should all be preparing phrases that can be used on signs that will be displayed outside Mr. Blumenthal's office when the investigation culminates victorious.
Guess what I am trying to say is - write down everything that comes to mind, post some here, so that when any occasion arises we'll be prepared!

I.L.A.D.S. I Like A Doctor's Support
I.D.S.A Ignoring Diseases So Astutely
I'm pretty sure I'm repeating myself and am getting no closer.
I.D.S.A... please make them go away; I.L.A.D.S... we need them to be our very best
I totally suck at this.

Hey, True. We're brain-storming now- just keep the ideas flowing. Never mind about judging. We never know, something one person says triggers the next person's thinking and soon we have what we need.

IDSA Lyme Treatment Guidelines: What's Not to Dislike?

A group of Lyme patients has announced that they are considering a temporary "species change" operation in order to be eligible for long-term antibiotic treatment. They say that livestock- dairy cows, chickens, and pigs are routinely kept for years on chronic antibiotics while the IDSA guidelines for Lyme treatment puts ABX treatment for serious human illnesses in jeopardy.
Mindful of the legitimate problem of antibiotic resistance, they say that in the case of the decades-long Lyme treatment controversy, the antibiotic-resistance question is largely a red herring. They believe that the controversy has more to do with covering-up past mistakes and guarding turf.
Tired of the struggle, and feeling that obtaining ABX "informally" is not their style, these patients are seeking a kindly young farming family to look after them until the truth is finally admitted and patients given the treatment they require. The patients, er...animals... would then be changed back into humans.
Currently, a pig is the preferred animal of choice for the species change. Patients note that pigs are very intelligent and very similar genetically to humans. Additionally, if the humans get confused about who the interspecies "pigs" really are, perhaps pigs will be found cute enough to be kept as pets and be spared the trip to the butchers until the business can be sorted out.

WOW! Such wonderful ideas! I can't think of any new ones. I like the "tick-ing bomb" and I like the "insist" one.
One thing to remember with a slogan - stress the positive! Don't even mention the negative.
As with political campaigns, all they do when they bash someone is make people remember the name of the person they were bashing.
So my thought is to just concentrate on ILADS and don't even put out the name of...... what was it? I forgot!
Does that make sense?

Sometimes I think it might be better to not even mention the IDSA. I know this isn't short, but in honor of Dr. Suess, here it goes....
Lyme disease causes terrible pain and can even drill holes in your brain
I never thought I could get so sick just from the bite of a 1 mm tick
no pain medicine I took, large or small made any difference, none at all!
But then an ILADS doc gave me antibiotices and after 3 years, by jove, we got it!
But then some researchers that never see patients ignored the improvement of thousands of patients
They based their assumptions on 4 flawed studies and even took money from their health insurance buddies!
So that the one thing that helps to rid us of pain, we are now told, "we don't think it works, so just tough it out, suffer in vain"
I thank the stars for the ILADS docs, who treat thousand of patients, around the globe, around the clock!
So to end my tale of woe and want to escape from lyme hell see someone with expereince treating lyme and tick infections, get an ILADS doc, they will get you well!
