Hello fellow Lyme fighters. I am new to this website. Been a Lyme fighter since 1990 and possibly earlier then that. Have had and still have great doctors and aresupportive with treatments. But I just can't find any support groups here in NJ. as I'm sure you all have experienced friends and family just don't or choose not to get it My husband and I are great supporters to each other.........but to be able to vent or just hangout with people that are going through the same stuff would be great. Not looking for a complaining, feel sorry...life sucks group......just people going through the same everday stuff. Glad I found the website...it has helped a lot. Lets hope 2008 is a great one for all us Lyme fighters. any info would be apreciated. thanks,

mtree, I don't know about support in your state. But recently I've found some great reading on ABC's of Lyme Disease. This is for children/teens but speaks of all truth in adult lyme & company.
This is from New Jersey support and I believe there is website info on the brochure to it.

welcome, i'll send you my very detailed newbie package.........
Please go to SUPPORT GROUPS, left-hand side column by state. CALL the nearest group leader for advise. Do NOT email; many are too sick to reply; thanks!
People seeking doctors in certain states might be able to get help from their state online information and support group. Over 1200 people belong to these state groups. Many of the groups are small but quite a few have 20 or more people on them.
Type your state name and lyme as one word, e.g. newyorklyme
For SC, SD, ND and WY, put a hyphen between the statename and lyme, e.g. northdakota-lyme
The groups are moderated so you have to apply, and we don't allow doctor names, but once on the group, you can ask for doctors in a certain area and ask people to email you privately.
GLAD YOU FOUND US; info galore and MORAL SUPPORT as we walk in each other's shoes!

It's great that you're going to go to a support group! I go to one and it's really helpful. I've always found LymeNet really helpful, but sometimes I feel like I'm talking to robots. It feels so much different in person.
