Hi,
I was diagnosed in 2002 with Lyme Disease and I am still beingtr treated by Dr. J. I am a high school student and I was wondering if anyone knew of any Lyme Disease schloarships that are out there. I have done a lot of research and I have yet to find any (I have found all sorts of scholarships for JRA, Chron's Disease, Cancer...). If you know of anything please let me know!
Thanks,
Rachel

Sorry to say, I have never heard of any scholarships that are aimed at helping Lyme disease patients get education.

Hope someone else has some better news for you.

Before I forget, you will need to EDIT, use the pencil icon, and remove the drs. last name...it can read only Dr. J. per webmaster's rules. See Treepatrol's long list and it's right at the beginning...ok!

NO Dr.'s last names are permitted on ths board now.

Good luck on finding scholarships and welcome. Here's other reading info.

Welcome to this 24/7 educational & support group board, www.lymenet.org !
Here's TREEPATROL's and TINCUP'S combination newbie links.
http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/029917.html

Print off the links then check them off as you read as you could spend several months reading all of this. Treepatrol constantly adds new links as they become available from the members here.

print & read Dr. B's (a lyme literate MD) info first; you will come back to this often.

Also, see Cheryl's extensive web sites on: LD DIAGNOSIS, SYMPTOMS, & TREATMENT ... wonderful!

Some guidelines from Betty/others on using this message board:

* Do NOT use all caps when posting; it's hard on our eyes. But I know one of our members has macular degeneration, and all caps is what she can see & read so exceptions like this are acceptable for good reasons.

* We chronic, late-stage lymies can NOT read long paragraphs. So please limit your paragraphs to 6-8 lines max of text and double space between paragraphs.

* You can EDIT your text comments anytime. You can NOT edit your subject line so please make it as specific as possible instead of ``help, question'' etc. in order to have more readers/replies in trying to assist you. There are between 30-40 NEW/replies to post daily so we can't read all the posts on our limited time here...thanks for understanding.

* If you use the ``quote'' icon, please DELETE [B] bold at the beginning & ending of the quote. This makes it easier on our chronic, late-stage lyme eyes.

* To just reply without quoting, go to the top or bottom of screen in the black & white area to reply or post a new topic. Many of us couldn't see it when we 1st started posting. Thank you for helping us all out!
