At Connie's request, I am going to post the link to order the "play only" version of the Under Our Skin DVD. I was getting many requests for the info, so this is definitely a better way to do it. I'm sorry, I should have just done it in the first place. Here you are:

I hope this comes through okay.

Thank you. It is officially ordered.

The documentary is magnificent.

I am stunned at how well the film captured the angst of living with lyme disease. I believe the IDSA's callous lack of integrity with respect to science is criminal. Their political motives are purely based on greed. As an executive of a major publicly traded company, the SEC would put my ass in jail and throw away the key, if I was guilty of the same collusion and conflict of interest the ISDA, insurance companies, and drug companies so egregiously committed.

Bottom line, the IDSA is unethical and their guidelines and financial relationships with insurance companies and drug manufacturers are criminal.

It is late and time for bed. But I feel compelled to tell you I am stunned. I am angry. I am scared. But most of all I am pissed off!!!!

Stunned by the courage of those affected by Lyme and the brave Doctors who risk everything to help us. I am stunned that this political war, fueled by greed and arrogance, exists at all.

Angry, because including myself, 3 family members suffer from late stage neurological lyme disease. In 2007 out of pocket treatment expenses for myself cost over $27,000. 2008 will be even more costly because my wife now has Lyme disease. I am angry because of the oh too numerous doctors who denied the existence of Lyme.

I am sacred of what will happen to patients if the LLMD's are forced to quit their practices. We believe several other extended family members may have Lyme. Who will diagnose and treat them? Hell, how will they pay for their medications? I worry terribly about my grandkids. Will they contract this disease?

I am pissed off because I am ready to fight the establishment. But I don't know what to do or where to begin to achieve a positive result.

I can't wait to see the movie. I am going to have my own 'screening' at my house when it arrives. My friends have been so supportive of me during my recovery. They have heard about the movie and are anxious to view it.

I share the same feelings regarding the 'establishment.'

It's ridiculous and shameful the way Lymies are treated. It makes me shudder to think of the thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of people who are rotting away with lyme because they are either undiagnosed or improperly treated.

I am ready to stand up and fight but I don't know what to do either. I am healthy now and have the energy to represent us, but I don't know what to do.

I am scared for the future, too. Ticks can pass Lyme to their babies. One female tick lays 20,000 eggs at a single time. Do the math. It's a very scary thought.

I'm ready for battle when the call comes .

Connie

I can't wait until you get a chance to see the film and to hear your thoughts. This documentary is a call to action. All of us on this board must push its message to the world.
