MDJunction to me

2steveb" In life we all have trials and tribulations to endure weather it be physical, mental or social. For me personally when i encountered MDJunction i was astounded. Since i joined MDJunction to me it has been a god send and a life saver. I have met and been able to converse freely with so many people in the same situation as myself, (that alone is a big help, to know your not alone) to be able to discuss and get good advice from a braud section of people. One of lifes hardest things is to discuss personal issues with friends/family and yet the mdj family is non judgmental and you will be made totally welcome to talk through any issue thats on your mind. There are forums for every known issue to mankind, to me MDJ.com has become my family extension, id be lost without these good people and the extremely good guide lines that group leaders help us all with to keep threads topical and friendly."

Lyme Disease support group in Onondaga County

For chronic sufferers

Read more: Local, Health, Community, Environment, Outdoors, Lyme Disease, Ticks, Chronic Disease Support

Lyme Disease--transmitted by ticks--is preventable (check for ticks after you've been outside in grass or brushy areas) and also treatable in most cases.

But people who have chronic cases have long term and sometimes debilitating fatigue and illness, and difficulty getting answers from the doctors treating them.

Kristin Schofield is a chronic sufferer, who now has started a support group.

There is no website, but you can reach her at LymeCNY@gmail.com or at 200-6541.

She says she does most of her contacting by email, though the group also has meetings.

The next is Monday evening, May 16 at Onondaga Free Library (West Seneca Turnpike on Onondaga Hill.

betty note: I THINK THIS IS NEW YORK! couldn't find state on website!
