Hello all from Ca,  smilewinkgrin

I'm in Livermore (east bay area) and haven't been able to find a support group.

Are any of you in one?  Where at? 

Or, are you interested in starting a new group?

I would love to!

I know some of you are in the Sacto area and even some in

central Ca.

Let us all know your thoughts and interests-

Thanks, Lisa

Hi - I'm in the Sacramento area. I found this site on CALDA that lists support groups around California: http://www.lymedisease.org/california/california_support_groups.html  I've thought about it, but haven't gone yet. It probably would be a good idea, I know I've met some interesting people just in the waiting room of the doctor's office - in fact one person I met there was mentioning he goes to the support group - I think in the East Bay.

I found a support group on that website. It's supposed to be in San Ramon. But it doesn't sound
like anyone ever showed up to monthly meeting, and they stopped. Bummer!!

If you hear where one is let me know!
I may just have to start a new one?

I wonder if you could contact CALDA and ask them more about it, or ask them about starting one in the bay area. I'm guessing there are plenty of people out there that would be interested. I would probably be interested in something local, but even the one here (in Sacramento area) is quite a drive - 45 minutes to an hour.

Hi,

I live in Alamo, Ca and haven't looked into finding a support group. I would love to connect with you.

"bablymers mom" and I are in central valley farming area of CA.  Near Fresno, CA.

By the way, anyone here going to San Ramon April 18 CALDA Lyme conference?  Will I see any of you there?

I was looking again on the CALDA site, at the blog, 'touched by lyme' and it mentions the woman who writes it is co-leader of a support group. It might be worth it to try and contact her.
