Facebook:

A Note About FB: Some pages will be:
“Public”= anybody can see them.
“Private”= you can “request” to become a member. Only other members can see what’s posted.
“Secret” =you need a “friend” to “invite” you to the group. Only other members can see what’s posted.
ALSO, try searching your symptoms on FB as well. (For example, there are groups concerning acid reflux and / or gerd.)

Support Group Disclaimer: Common Sense dictates that the following is now added: Please exercise caution when meeting new support groups. While we DO recommend finding LOCAL support groups for their vast knowledge of area-based wisdom (i.e.  info on local doctors, therapist and such), we don’t want anybody meeting total strangers until they have done research on the group. Meet in public places. Take a friend. Safety First!

Finding out where your closest National Capital Lyme Disease Association or Natcaplyme group is located is of the utmost importance. Your local group is made up of mostly Lyme sufferers and their care-givers. They come together to help people navigate through the massive load of misinformation that exists right now. They work locally and nationally to collect up-to-date information on Lyme. Sometimes, they have lists of area Doctor’s that have been known to be knowledgeable about Lyme. Sometimes those lists include alternative professionals as well; from holistic healers to herbalists to what-have-you!
