If you are frustrated and want to do something to make a difference, PANDORA and the CFS Solutions of West Michigan, along with MCWPA (as determined by a survey in January) urge you to write physicians and let them know the science on this disease.

Called "Doctors Need to Know", an effort that takes patients only about thirty minutes. It can be done internationally. Launch date is March 1.

Details can be found here: http://forum.mcwpa.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=183

Five letters. The website of how to find the physician addresses are provided. The suggested wording is just four sentences. Simple, easy, and cheap advocacy at its best. Grassroots.

This is something that will benefit ourselves and the next patient who comes down with the illness. Physicians are the front line of battle at changing public perception.

Like so many things, we have to do it ourselves. But this be easy.

Campaign lasts a week. Takes very little money.

We are playing offense to the public perception battle instead of defense. Please join us.
