Forum for adult who might have Lyme?

[GraceUnderPressure]

Can anyone tell me of a good Lyme forum for adults & any helpful sites that I can share with a mom who has been thru some really rough health issues that I think might be at least partly due to Lyme (because she felt better while on doxycycline, & her dr was actually kind enough to give her multiple courses, so that now she is doing better though still not functioning well enough to work)?

 

She has a lot of questions, including whether testing would be helpful at this point or not, that I am not at all well-equipped to answer as I am still wrestling with these things myself! I'd love to refer her to a place with helpful, experienced people so she can figure out if this is worth the $ to pursue.

You can try http://www.lymenet.org/. There's a forum section and a separate section where people can ask for doctor referrals. I personally don't go there very often, because the topics don't seem to get discussed as thoroughly as they do here and also because it's adult oriented. But it's one option for adults.

 

You might also go to google books and look for books on lyme (Healing Lyme is one that comes to mind). Sometimes when you read about symptoms, you recognize yourself. Cure Unknown is also a great book if she's a reader.

MD Junction is another

Tons of information there. Lots of people posting who are battling lyme. Strong opinions on abx v.s. naturals.

This is a new support group on Facebook for people w/Lyme disease. It is a closed group.
