Hey all NH lymies....looking for your help to turn your frustration into action.

Yes, I know we're here cuz we have lymebrains, but with a little support of each other, I think we can reach out and make a necesssary difference.

I have begun contacting support for medical advisory, and a few other Lymies... If you think you could be involved in the grassroots (no tick in this grass!) efforts of getting a LD support started in NH, PLEASE email me with :

1.name
2.town
3.telephone number for voice contact
4.area in which you'd like to help...
letter writing, publicity, know a good free location to meet, have informational videos, have supportive local Dr, know more than I do....anything!

Let's get out the word that LD lives in NH, and we want to to Live Free, not die!

Thank you!

achey,

Hello, I tried a while back to see if there would be any interest in having a support group here in NH and there was, problem being I was not well enough to be in charge of it.

I did it for one time just to get together with some others to share.

I for one would love to go if someone could organize one.

I know there are some FMS and CFS and other groups held at the local hospitals and maybe even local town halls might be a possiblity? I'm not sure if we could get permission to or not to use one of these places but we could start there.

Let me know what you think.

I am close to Concord or Manchester.

Will you have a web site ?
Hope so when you do post it thanks Tree

oh, Tree,
This is in the pre-birth stage...a website sounds way to big for me...I can barely type and search the web....but who know what kind of talent is resting in NH...

I still need more intersted and knowlegdable folks to help.

Do you know that Portsmouth Hospital is having a talk on "Living with Lyme" on June 27 from 7 - 8:30 PM at the Portsmouth Marriott - call 433-6976 to reserve a space. I will be there with my daughter because she has Lyme.

You can contact me directly for info about what doctors I have wasted my time on and what doctor we see now who is very knowledgeable.

I have been wishing for a Lyme Support Group in my area for a long time.

If you go to www.lymedisease.meetup.com and search on zip code 03801, you will see where I have tried to start a group but without any results!!! Please keep in touch!!!
