No, I understood. And I really appreciate your intentions. I just addressed the things that were most relevant to me in more detail. I do have congressman fight insurance companies on my behalf. But, I'm very lucky because of my wife and finances at this point in my life (finally), so I think I can have a bigger impact by thinking outside of my own problems a bit.
One of the people that was very helpful to me in finding treatment (and her sister) are in the documentary I mention, for example, and she died from Lyme complications after filming because she was denied adequate treatment for so long. I know others that have died due to Lyme and associated vector-borne diseases. (A celebrity reference for the HN crowd: Mary McDonnell of Donnie Darko and Battlestar Galactica is an activist in fighting Lyme and associated tick diseases that I occasionally see because she had a family member die of Lyme.) In sum, people are dying - and wishing they could die - because of these diseases, so I also wanted to address other actions I have taken and that others can also take.
