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.
