Hey towelheadedcameljockey...relax...I just now saw your posting about your mom...our postings must have crossed in cyber space. My last posting was certainly not my response to that!? I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MOM...that sounds terrible! I am personally a cancer survivor myself and I have many loved ones who have suffered and died from cancer and it IS an AWFUL disease. NOT my intent to compare diseases in this way...BOTH cause tremendous suffering. I was speaking of political climate only of the disease.— July 16, 2009 5:03 p.m.

Sorry to upset people with my comment about cancer. I was just trying to make a point...that none of you would understand unless you actually have been diagnosed with Late Stage Chronic Lyme Disease! AGAIN...GO SEE THE MOVIE...Under Our Skin...showing tonight ONLY at the Gaslamp 15 downtown. Then, we can have an educated discussion here. Yes, you are right I would rather not have any illness whatsoever!! But, at least with cancer, there is no big debate going on. At least with cancer you can get proper diagnosis and treatment. Your loved ones, community and medical doctors take you seriously. It is bad enough feeling AWFUL everyday of my life with chronic pain, flu symptoms, etc. (long, long list) Taking hundred of pills. Knowing I may feel this bad for the rest of my life...AND then on top of that we have to battle the fact that our health insurance companies will not cover treatment, there are very few doctors to treat us, etc. Don't get me wrong. I am grateful for my life and have become a better person because of what I have been through. But, I am just trying to help others become better educated about a sometimes debilitating, if not fatal, disease caused by a TINY little tick!— July 16, 2009 3:12 p.m.

Hi Barbarella. I just wanted to thank you soooooo much for writing this article. Yes, IF caught early....and IF you are lucky to find a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor to PROPERLY treat you (MOST doctors are mis-informed-see movie!)...you MAY be fine. BUT, many people don't even know they got bit. Only 30-60% get the stereotypical bulls eye rash or other early symptoms. You may wake up years later...sicker than sick. For those out there that think a tick bite is NO BIG DEAL...trust me...GO SEE THE MOVIE I mentioned above...then we will talk. OR just ask our local newscaster Brooke Landau if it is a big deal. Click on this article to see her story. http://www.sandiego6.com/news/local/story/Brooke-… NO BIG DEAL....Trust me, I should know...I suffer EVERYDAY with chronic, late stage lyme disease. And it is a BIG $%#@!! DEAL. Honestly, I would rather have cancer.— July 16, 2009 12:16 p.m.

Hi Barbarella and friends, May I STRONGLY recommend you go watch the movie UNDER OUR SKIN! It ran for 3 weeks, but TODAY is the LAST day, THURSDAY, JULY 16th at 430pm, 655pm and 930pm at the GASLAMP 15 downtown. It is the only theater in San Diego showing it. <http://www.readingcinemasus.com> View Trailer at <http://underourskin.com/watch.html> Winning BEST DOCUMENTARY at NUMEROUS film festivals. This movie will show you the real truth about TICKS and LYME DISEASE which can be FATAL if you are not properly educated. You are just one tick bite away! AND YES TICKS ARE HERE IN SAN DIEGO, ask the over 100 members in the local support group for Lyme Disease! You can go to the KPBS website to see a movie review written by Beth Accomando where there are many local comments. http://www.kpbs.org/news/2009/jul/07/food-inc-and… PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD...and GO SEE THIS AMAZING MOVIE...TONIGHT!— July 16, 2009 9:59 a.m.
