I've been trying to locate a support group for people with Lyme's Disease in North Jersey, and I can't find one.

How many people feel the need for a support group in North Jersey?

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I never have been to a support group. The closest one to me was about 40 miles away. Not easy when you're sick.

My support group was HERE and I love it!!

I agree. That's why I feel that having a support group in Bergen County would be helpful. Especially since their has been an increase in reported Lyme's Disease cases over the past 3 years

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Was there one near you on that list??

Posted by Phil E (Member # 34536) on :

No, unfortunately most of those groups are in New Brunswick, Hewitt, Morristown. Most of thos towns are about 45 minutes to an hour away.

Or they are discontinued/ I have been searching for over a year [Frown]

We could use a support group here for sure.
