Hi,

I'm looking for other folks who live in Pittsburgh and have Lyme disease. I'd like to maybe start a support group.

I did, they haven't responded to calls or email so I think they are defunct.

I live in greensburg, near pittsburgh. There is a support group ran by the Westmoreland County Lyme Disease Association that meets at the Jefferson Hospital I believe, but I forget. All I knew was the for it being a "Westmoreland County" lyme support group, you had to meet in Allegheny County and that was too far for me to drive.

And, hello fellow lymmie.

Hi Jen,

You could check on PennsylvaniaLyme to see if there is anyone near Pittsburgh, http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pennsylvanialyme or post in the Activism section here.
