I hope the 30,000 plus people who were missed in Virginia will see your excellent news report and question their diagnosis of ADD, dementia, Altzheimers, Parkinsons, Lupus, MS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, "growing pains", Lou Gehrigs, etc... and get to someone who can help them. (Hint- Avoid the Universities as I believe the city lights or something in the water has affected their abilty to see and hear patients.)
Please note- Lyme disease can affect any and all organs, migrates from place to place and can cause mild to severe disability or worse.
Thank you to ABC News and Noreen Turyn for this excellent program and my best wishes and hope for a brighter future for all who suffer.

You can congratulate yourself, knowing you are very helpfully informing your viewers now, which may lead to concrete help for a number of infected, but misdiagnosed, individuals.
Additionally, you also will be able to look back, at some point in the future, and know that you were perceptive and informed at a time when so many ignored or dismissed the subject. You're on record for being part of the eventual solution (via broadcasting accurate information that helps influence appropriate decision-making).
Your coverage not only informs the general public, but reaches elected officials and the medical community, with the potential for positive change. Great job.
