what a wonderful idea.  I realized the other day that I read posts to this and

other groups about lyme but my daughter does not have a support group. 

Unfortunately a friend of hers, that we hadn't seen in a few months, was

diagnosed with lyme.  the friend's mother called as she remember that my

daughter had lyme.  We plan to get the girls together so they may talk about

their shared experiences with lyme.  Our children need a support group too:)

We will look up this article too.  Thanks for sharing.

My daughter is featured in an interview in the Feb. issue of Odyssey magazine (a

science mag. for teens/tweens) with an accompanying article on Lyme. You can

look for it on-line in a week or so, but for now the Jan. issue is on the

website. Like so many parents of children suffering from Lyme my husband and I

are deeply saddened to see our child in pain, but this interview helped us to

see that for Paloma, being sick, in all of its cruelty and unfairness has not

left her bitter, and has maybe even helped her to become more resilient. Paloma

agreed to being interviewed because she thought it might help other kids to know

that they are not alone. If you think it might help your child pass it along to

them.

I believe there is a group for teens with lyme but my daughter has been so

ill the past two years that she could not participate.  She is now 17 and has

missed two years of high school and there are many more like her here in FL. 

One girl whose dad is a cardiologist has not graduated high school, another is

struggling right now to finish HS on line.  Another girl had to finish HS for 4

years on line.  One more had to drop out of the Univ of Miami, and has been in

bed 3 years.  There are many, many more.  I run a support group in FL and

every day it breaks  my heart to see all these people so ill.  I think it is a

great idea to unite all these teens/tweens so they can communicate with someone

who is going through similar issues.
