Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 My impression is that there's LOTS of Lyme on Long Island....and isn't that where Dr. Burrascano is now practicing? Long Island figured prominently in the fairly new book, Lab 257 by Carroll. Absolutely fascinating about the Plum Island off the northeast coast of L. I. Go to and type in Long Island and I bet a group or groups will come up. Good luck. Elaine [ ] Long Island Can anyone tell me the prevalence of lyme on Long Island. Are there arny support groups for lyme sufferers on Long Island? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Long Island is a geological trash heap! The last glacial age which carved the lake I've lived on for the past 30 years out of softer rock carried a bunch of rocks along with it and dumped them out in the ocean off the current shoreline. That debris is Long Island. Manhatten, on the other hand is hard rock from the Mother Earth of granite, gneiss, and a little schist. It stuck up proud and resisted the glaciers (a little). Yes, Brooklyn and Queens are regarded as part of Long Island. Coney Island isn't an island except for being near the shore on Long Island in Brooklyn. There some " barrier islands " lining the edge of parts of Long Island, but they are mostly considered islands off an island. Besides Brooklyn and Queens (part of New York City) on Long Island, you've got a gazillion towns out on Long Island ranging from Northport and Mauntauk to Oyster Bay. I've just gotten the report on my new home in California in the edge of the coastal range. It is ocean bottom junk thrust up from two colliding plates that give us nice things like the San s Fault which occasionally gives us a shake as the plates continue their 400 mile trip sliding against each other. The Sierra Nevada is deep ocean stuff from the same collision, but a couple hundred miles inland. BTW, from the center of Kansas City MO to get to Kansas City KS, you only have to walk a couple of miles and cross the Kansas River.

That debris is Long Island. May be true but what a beautiful geological trash heap it is. Notice all the people who live on the Eastern end of Long Island!! Barbara Streisand, , Caroline Kennedy, Spielberg, to name a few. It may be made up of Debris but lots of people are clamoring to climb on lol!!!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 We're considering moving to northern Long Island, particularly Great Neck, NY. I'm looking for information such as resources, therapists, schools and programs. If anyone in this group is from the area or have any information, please e-mail me privately. Thank you.
