Lyme disease film "Under Our Skin" Not everyone loves UNDER OUR SKIN: Entertainment Weekly says "The filmmakers actually bungle what should have been their real subject (that the belief in chronic Lyme disease has become something of a cult, one that can ruin the lives of the people who think they have it)." Don't let popular media get away with this. Feel free to let the author and his readers know your thoughts!

Top Oscar film blogger from the LA Times says: "Let's hope the Oscars cite UNDER OUR SKIN next week when the academy unveils the shortlist of titles in the running for best documentary feature.

Everyone, please go read the comment by an "Andrew" after this article on the LA times website - I posted a response, but it apparently has to be approved by the author before it will show up. Anyone who feels well enough today to post a response to his comment or just a general comment about the film or Lyme disease on that site, please do so ... Read Moretoday. We need to stop all this misinformation surrounding Lyme disease and defend this film. The poster "Andrew" obviously has not done his research - whereas the makers of this film, those few and precious Lyme literate doctors, and those of us battling this serious disease for years have. Please make your voice heard if you feel well enough to do so! Thanks!

"renegade" doctors? Too bad those are the only ones (LLMD) that keep us from dying in many cases. They are the bravest doctors in rhe world. Someday when a doctor with the IDSA gets Lyme or one of their family just who do you think they'll seek out to help them when their so called "friends" keep telling them "it's all in your head!!" Its probably already happened or they just treat themselves the ILADS way behind the scenes. Great article.

Lyme disease film "Under Our Skin"
People speak out on the underourskin.com comments page. Here's one example, from Leah in NJ: "I haven't had a chance yet to see the actual movie, but I've watched
the trailer--literally a million times. It really gets to me, because I
feel this guilt inside that I'm not being treated before it's too late.
I've had Lyme di...sease since I was 3, so I know how bad it can get. I'm
now 14. I love that this movie came out, because I want people
to know about this, because it IS the "next tsunami". It's coming
faster than ever. This is all so hard...it's between life or death. But
I still stand tall, ashamed to be a victim, but I'll scream it if I
honestly have to...strength finds a place in me." Read more here: http://www.underourskin.com/interact_viewfeedback.html

I have seen an increase of guineafowl in my area. They eat ticks! All my neighbors have lyme, my family has lyme...etc. Could there be a connection? Where did these birds come from? I've been here 16 years and have just noticed them with in the last year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmeted_Guineafowl

If you have body pain and fatigue and there are no answers for you, watch this movie. You can order it on line. Even if you test negative for lyme, there are many tic related co-infections that you may have NOT been tested for! This movie is excellent. I'm a ten year lyme sufferer, I highly recommend this movie!
