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

That's great Jennie. I've thought a lot about starting a support group in Louisville for the last three years. Something just keeps holding me back.
Part of my sx has been fears and stresses of socializing. Pre-illness I was quite the opposite. I'm much better now, but still not ready I think to take on such a responsibility.
Maybe someday soon.
Pam

Hey, Jennie, did you mean to provide your e-mail address?
Your support group sounds like a good idea and I wish you all the best.

Hi Pam,
Thank you, very much!
I'm sorry you keep getting held back, from doing so!
I have, for a while, also!
I figured, it is time, though, especially, since there seems to be a need, in my area!
I may not, fully, understand, what I'm getting myself into, but, hopefully, I'll have others, come forth, who will be willing to help me!
I'm sorry to hear about your socializing issues!
I have, a bit of, that, also, but, I think, being around people, who understand lyme disease, will alleviate, a lot of, that, for me!
I was not that way, before I got lyme, either, so I, do, understand, where you are coming from, there!
Like you said, hopefully, someday, soon, you'll be ready to take on the resonsibility!
I wish you, the best of, luck, when you do!
Love, Light, & Health, Jennie

Hi Ann,
I'd like for people, who are interested in joining the group, to send me their email address, either as a reply to this post, but, preferably, as a private message, to me.
My email address can be found, on the listing of support groups, here, under the states of Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois, since I live so close to all three of them, it will include them.
Thanks for letting me know you think my support group sounds like a good idea!
