Hi all,

I really appreciate all the sharing and support offered across this site!

Lyme has recently come up as a differential diagnosis for the several health problems I've had over the years. I've scheduled my first LLMD appt with Dr. S in SF per the advice of my neurologist, so hopefully I will know more soon.

Anyone know of any lyme groups in the Seattle area? If there are any that meet on the Eastside, that would be preferable.

I'd love to get connected with others locally who might be working through similar challenges.

Thanks!

Yes, there are both Seattle and Washington state Lyme groups!

There is a Yahoo group serving Washington state at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/WALDUC-Support/

There are Seattle support group meetings once a month. They are always listed in the Yahoo group.

Out of curiousity, why are you going all the way to SF to see an LLMD? We've got a few to pick from here in Washington, and I'm very happy with mine.

Of course, you should see who you want to, but if you want to save the travel, I can give you the name of my LLMD in Seattle. Just PM me.

Anna, thanks so much for the info! I've signed up to join the yahoo group... pending approval now.

I'll PM you with more specifics on reasons for going to see an SF LLMD. Would be good to hear more on your Seattle LLMD experiences.

Thanks!
