Letters To Strangers 2016 ~ Montana Letter
This effort was discussed in my recent post about my trip to DC last week, and is described in further detail in a post from May of last year.

Prologue ~ Guest Series from Washington’s Recognizing Chronic Lyme Bill Supporters
Washington’s SB 5448, Recognizing Chronic Lyme was signed Friday, April 24, by Governer Inslee. There will be more steps in the future, but the signing makes way for some of the stories from the inspiring patients that supported this bill.

The author’s inflammatory title, “Real Housewife, Fake Disease” is fairly ironic, given that the doctor writes under a fake […]
