NEW DOCUMENTARY FILM - SEQUEL TO UOS, now available

The Lyme Action Network presented this region's first public screening of EMERGENCE, the new Andy Abrahams Wilson documentary film in NOvember, and will plan to offer it again in the spring.

EMERGENCE renews the study of the people and politics of Lyme disease that began in Under Our Skin.  The film revisits the principle subjects of Under Our Skin - Mandy, Dana, Jordan, the beleaguered physicians, and others, to provide updates on their progress, and also revisits the crippling politics and special interests that have created this bizarre and destructive situation.

Members of the Lyme Action Network will be available for a Q&A session following the film.

The movie is free and open to the public.  

Tick Twisters are the safest and easiest way to remove ticks from people and pets quickly, painlessly and completely.  Tweezers can squeeze the contents of the tick into your skin.  "TWIST, DON'T TWEEZE!"

In his New York Times Bestseller, "Why Can't I Get Better?  Solving the Mystery of Lyme and Chronic Disease", Richard I. Horowitz, MD, offers a questionnaire to help readers do a self-assesment of their symptoms.  With Dr. Horowitz's permission, the Lyme Action Network has excerpted the questonnaire and has made it available in a pdf that you can download.
