Hello dear supporters,

I wrote an update a couple of days ago that included new guideliness for treating chronic UTI, but did not include advanced testing, and asked you to leave your comments on the website before March 19th to help change that. 

Afterwards I realized that the site I gave can be kind of difficult to navigate. I also realized you may want a little more context on what exactly is happening here. So I have set up a zoom for this coming Monday, March 17th at 5:30pm EDT. I have asked the CEO of MicroGen testing, Rick Martin, to join me. He can explain how the test works and why it is imperative in treating chronic infections, and then we will screen share and show you how to leave your comments. 

Please join us on Monday, this is a real opportunity to have your comments impact the outcome of people suffering from chronic UTI! Even if the story does not belong to you but to a loved one, you are still invited to share.  Alternatively, you can leave your comments via email to practiceguidelines@idsociety.org.

Thank you so much for being on this journey with me. I hope we can help everyone suffering by getting advanced testing a mandated part of treatment that insurance covers. If you work with me to leave these comments that can happen! 

Again the ZOOM meeting ID is 815 3167 1425 and the passcode is d2r3yK, or use this link. https://us05web.zoom.us/j/81531671425?pwd=S7OLPFqasjnzOKgYmXbdMjq1AAJQ9b.1
