MDJunction to me

Claire138"It's been a year since I joined the Parkinson's Disease Support Group on MDJunction and all I can say is thank you all for the support, compassion and friendship I've received and been able to give as well. It was a lonely night when I came upon this site, but the nights aren't that lonely anymore...
With gratitude to all...

[b]The National Captitol Lyme & Tick-Borne Disease Association is sponsoring a Congressional Briefing Luncheon on Sept 24. They are asking any and all Lyme support groups and individuals to help to sponsor getting both the Pam Weintraub book, Cure Unknown and a DVD of Under Our Skin to every member of Congress to make then aware of the Lyme epidemic and how it is affecting thousands of Lyme disease sufferers as well as how LLMDs are being persecuted for trying to treat chronic Lyme disease. You can go to their website for more info:

Thanks Joe in Va. I'll check it out.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

Open your mind to the possibilities available to you.

An attitude of gratitude is good 'medicine,' too.

I'm drafting letters to my state representative, senator and congressman now. I listened to the radio program that was taped in the last few weeks on the natcaplyme.org...Let's cross our fingers that this luncheon will be a success and funds will be provided for more Lyme research.
