i encourage all PR members to login into this live stream even if you cant sit and watch to help raise awareness for those with Lyme and to give support to the brave Lymies who are there using their precious energy to stand up for Lyme patients. There is a chat to the right of the livestream. But just loging in will add you to the count and give those in Philadelphia encouragement. They are working so hard. And if you are in Philadelphia you can go down there and add your voice.

We need to support each other in the awareness efforts!!! Thanks

More and more IDSA physicians are reportedly ignoring Guidelines and treating with longer term antibiotics. It's demonstrations such as the one going on down in Philly that bring home the face of the late stage or chronic Lyme patient in an undeniably intimate fashion.

When the Guidelines don't mesh with patient reality, and when that is understood by a physician, the dividing line between ILADS and IDSA blurs.

Still a long way to go though. Dogma is a tough thing to overcome.
