Name: runlp586 Title of Question: Documentary Project

Question: Hey everybody, I'm trying to pitch a Documentary on the Transition from Significant Other to Care Giver. I'm looking for couples were one member is terminally or chronically ill. If you fit this profile, or know a couple that does, and are in Northern Ohio, please let me know. Suffering from Fibromyalgia myself, I know me and my girlfriend fit this. But you can't really do a documentary on yourself. Anyways, please help me out, this would be done with the greatest care and respect for all involved. Peace, runlp586 ?

Answer: Good film subject. Wanted to let you know that we all actually have Lyme disease, a bacterial infection generally acquired from the bite of an infected tick, but also can be gotten from other insects as well as human transmission. The bacteria inflames our nerves and soft tissues. We generally need antibiotics, plus people are also trying other treatments. Go to www.lymenet.org/FlashDiscussion/MedicalQuestions and learn about it all there. Lots of people there to help. Also, a major documentary is going to come out soon on Lyme disease, entitled "Under our Skin" -- their website and trailer are at www.OpenEyePictures.com. You can email me at sfrobink@aol.com if you want. =
