“There is no strength without unity”

Why LymePeople.com?
After countless stories of frustration, pain and feelings of isolation from my Lyme patients I have decided to create LymePeople.com. My vision is a social gathering site not only for up to date medical information but also a place where people can share their experiences–good and bad.
Unite and become stronger in this fight against Lyme.
