Hi all, I'm new to this board, a friend in Calif told me about Lymenet just before we moved from Calif to El Paso but I haven't had the time or energy to check in till now.
I'm not sure that I have Lyme disease but from what I have read on the newbie page it looks very probable that I do have it.
I hope someone can help me find a Lyme specialist in the El Paso area who will order the proper tests. Or anywhere in the west Texas or southern New Mexico area within a few hours drive.
Thanks,

you need to UPDATE YOUR PROFILE TO ALLOW PRIVATE MESAGES, PMs, to be sent to you! you can chose NOT to hear from certain members if they are bothering you, etc. as well as report it. it's in my newbie package i sent you ok!

Go to SUPPORT GROUPS found in left-hand column, by country, then by state! Check 1st page to see where the various groups are located for your state. CLICK on link closest to you.
Read carefully if support group leader wants you to call them or EMAIL! Many are very sick themselves; so be patient in getting a response from them. Thanks!
SUPPORT GROUPS .... LYME FOR ``YOUR'' STATE! See below!! 8-19-07
You might be interested in joining your online state yahoo group. All are set up the same way with the state name and lyme run together as one word, http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/STATENAMELYME, e.g. newyorklyme,
except for 4 states which have a hyphen between the statename and lyme, e.g. southcarolina-lyme. Those states are SC, WY, ND, SD.
The groups were set up by Phyllis Mervine of CALDA, Calif. LDA, to help create an infrastructure for the Lyme community for patient support, local resources, and political action. thx Phyllis!
