Lyme Disease Support Group

We have a Chatroom at www.wisconsinlyme.net in which we hold "chats" to share lyme information.

Darren would like to hold chat sessions just for kids, early teens and younger. I think it's a great idea.

Chats are being held on Friday nights at 8 pm central time at

www.wisconsinlyme.net

Just go to the site and click on the Chatroom link, pick a Username and you're in.

Darren is on Facebook and his e-mail is aquaknight@att.net

Darren's Mom is Kristin Collins, one of the WI. Lyme Yahoo board moderators and an RN.

Kristin's e-mail is collins.kristin@att.net

Please contact Kristin and Darren directly if you have a child that would be interested in participating.

This is Darren's project and he'll be responsible for alerting everyone about the chat times, etc.

Great idea and I'm sure there's other ill children that would like to participate.

Thanks,

Mike, Moderator

Parents please feel free to look over your childs posts and discuss with them. There will be plenty of parents checking it out to make sure there are no inappropriate individuals on this chat board.

My son Darren (age 10 ) has started this chat room, he is the official mascot and will over see that everything is running smoothly.

He has also started a private facebook site called Lyme Kids.

Please feel free to pass this among others who may know of a child with Lyme.

Hi All,Reminder that Kids Lyme Chat room is Friday night at 8:00 pm central time for kids with Lyme disease between the ages of 9 and preteen.

Just go to www.wisconsinlyme.net then click on "chatroom" add your name and you're in.

My son Darren has started this chat to get to know other kids to chat to. It's not only chat about Lyme they like to talk about all kinds of stuff.

I'm a Lymie, an RN and a moderator at Wisconsin Lyme Yahoo http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/wisconsinlyme/

You can contact me at collins.kristin@att.net with any questions.

This may be a great place for your son/daughter to go to chat about how he feels.

I have two children with Lyme 10 and 12, but my older son has few symptoms and doesn't participate in the chat, but my 10 year old Darren started it and he was in there by himself last week.

He needs some other kids to show up to stay interested in continuing to do this. So if your around and your kids like the computer please share with them this info.

Girls may need to help him out by asking the questions, you know how these guys are? Girls are better gabbers.Thank you

Kristin Collins
