Below is a site where there are quite a few support groups. Not sure where you are in Maryland, but there is a support group in every county. Lyme is extremely endemic to Maryland so its not too surprising each county would be represented.
As far as getting information, the leaders of the support groups have a great deal of information which can be helpful as you get started.
Both of you need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are.
Also, most LLMDs do not take insurance due to the politics surrounding this disease. Read poster TF's explanation about this:
The Lyme Disease Network is a non-profit organization funded by individual donations. If you would like to support the Network and the LymeNet system of Web services, please send your donations to:

Lyme Disease Network of New Jersey 907 Pebble Creek Court,
