Hello! I am so happy to have found this group. I was diagnosed in September, am 1 month into treatment, and feel quite isolated and lonely at times.
It seems like, since my diagnosis, others in the area have been coming out of the woodwork that also have lyme. I am interested in starting a local support group in my area and was hoping folks might have insight.
It may be a bit ambitious for this exact moment (you know, the two 10 minute periods each day where I feel up to getting off the couch or forcing food down), but I would really like to try and do something that matters.

Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began. Posts: 2007 | From NY/VT Border | Registered: Aug 2010

Yes. Unfortunately, the closest one is a couple of hours away.

- It would be best to connect with the support groups in California to get a "blue print" for how to start one in an new area.
This group is fantastic, used to be called CALDA, the California Lyme Disease Association. Expanding their scope, they have a new name but will still be able to help you in your efforts.
The Lyme Disease Network is a non-profit organization funded by individual donations. If you would like to support the Network and the LymeNet system of Web services, please send your donations to:
