Virginia: Lyme Support Groups

 

Within these groups of individuals across the United States and other countries, there are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and so forth. As Dr. Jemsek states, “sooner or later” your family will be affected by this growing disease and you, too, will be trying to make a difference.

The leader of this group is a teacher, researcher, writer, friend, victim, and advocate. “It’s my mission to make sure that the public is educated.” “I carry ILADS pamphlets with me when I go out, and make sure the people I have contact with find out about Lyme.”
