I really would like to start a lyme support group in my tri-state area. One doesn't currently exist, which I'm aware of anyway, but I truly feel there is a need for one.
I say that because, just by chance, I keep running across lymies, who live close to me. I don't think I know enough lymies yet, who would be interested in attending the meetings to make them worth having though. I certainly know more are out there, so I'm currently in the process of trying to find them.
I'm willing to hold the meetings in parts of Southwestern Indiana, Southwestern Kentucky, and some nearby areas in Illinois.
If you or anyone you know lives near any of those areas and would be interested in attending any meetings, please send me an email with contact information. A name and email address would be fine, but if you don't mind sharing a phone number with me, that would be good too.
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Love, Light, & Health, Jennie

I am willing to share what I did to start mine. I don't live in your area.
Do you have a Lyme Yahoo group you could announce it on?
Maybe edit the title of the post to include what area you want to do it in, might draw some more attention.

Hi Jennie,
I didn't see this thread moved over into General so I am responding here.
I live in SW Indiana and have seen a need for a support group also. I have also considered starting a support group, however it will require a lot of time and I wanted to make sure I could give it before starting a group.
Someone else in my office recently began Lyme treatment. And we both know others who have been treated or are suspecting Lyme.
I will PM you.
One day at a time!
Stan

Community centers, libraries and hospitals will often have rooms available for rental or for free where you could meet- and having it in those places just helps raise awareness by itself.
If you have one, they will come*)!*)*!)!
Glad to read it, Sincerely, Sarah

Thanks, to all of you, for your help!
I truly appreciate it!
I'll take you advice and change the title of my post, as well as put my post over on the general board, also.
