Well, do you know where she lives?????
Conneticuit. she should have been doing a lyme report every month.
This IS progress.
Hey I just thought ...the best way we could get some good press about
the plagueness and seriousness
and existence of lyme is if some drug company advertised their stuff like they do for PMS or depression or
what is the other big one..sexual malfunction viagra type stuff.
It is all bull anyway about
those drugs really working but it sure made the world aware of how many marriages were not happening because husbands had a malfunction problem.
I wish they would advertise dozy or roiciphin or samento or oregano oil or what ever for "relief of lyme
disease".
Has anyone seen the commercial of the woman who had fiber and started taking one of these new drugs and how her entire life became a wonderful cream cheeseie existence. Her feet even got prettier.
The before and after was like a SNL skit.
Not that I want drug companies to sell more drugs but it is the best advertisement and way of showing the public that this is everywhere. Nothing should be taboo anymore. I still remember the first time I saw a TAMPAX commercial on TV!!!!! i could NOT believe it was happening. IN ONE DAY , ONE COMMERCIAL
opened a whole new awareness of the common fact about
menstruation. Right? when just ONE DAY BEFORE it was "just something you don't need to put on TV"
We need to be on TV as a commercial. not just a "special mention". It kind of leaves it as a topic of DEBATE ...does it exhaust? is there a cure? is it abx?
But if a drug company's advertising OR a LAB (ignex) was advertising. It suddenly makes it a fact.
Ignex Labs
...get your family tested today.
have you been feeling sick? depressed? Is your head ringing constantly or do you get the feeling there is a refrigerator in your head? Are you in pain?
Have you been in any tall grass lately or out petting the local deer? Have you been sleeping a lot? Lost your mind? can't seem to get along with anyone anymore? lost your job? feel like jumping off a roof some days? Well, you could have Lyme Disease. Get yourself tested today.
Igenex....the leader in Lyme testing.
Event e antibiotic companies could advertise doxy or rocephin for "RELIEF of lyme disease" . None of them have to or can claim to be the cure but hearing a commercial will make people get tested when wearied things are happening. Too many people are not even getting diagnosed.

I'm writing for the local paper and have gotten two letters printed in four local cities and was featured in the Guest Column; "Volunteering beats depression".
I am writing to the editor a third story; "The Controverial Illness - Lyme". I have to shorten it then I'll submit it.
I'll work on Katie ASAP. I contacted the local CH3 here in Cleve,OH, twice, but they probably think I'm some nut!
Gosh, I would love to do a commercial about
Lyme and what to do to prevent it happening to others.
Wish I still had my medical job, I'd have some connections with some drug reps.
Guess we have to press on the best we can.

Hi guys I'm from England an not many people have heard of this disease including my own doctor. had to find my own specialist which I'm glad about
because now I'm getting treated properly, I just can't wait till I'm starting to feel better because everybody in England will no about
this disease when I'm finished as I'm going to every paper to tell them how bad I've been treated an to just basically just to make more people aware of this disease x

You go for it! I'm working now on my length of the story. Less is more, so editting is the important thing now.
I want to get the point across, not overwhelm my readers.
Press on! Get mad! Write Write Write! Maybe one of us will be on TV. Hum....... gosh, I wish someone had connections! We'll get there!!!!!
