    Lyme financial aid/grant websites that someone linked on FB today

    Someone posted these in one of the Lyme FB groups today. Consequently, I think they're geared more towards those who suspect they may have Lyme causing their ME/CFS. Also I only glanced over them but I think they are mainly US sites but please don't take my word for it because the one site...

    Who has ruled out Lyme disease and heavy metal toxicity?

    Posted about this recently but wanted to ask a different way. The more Ive learned and the more CFS patients Ive met the more people Ive seen diagnosed with these two along with mold - by far more than anything else mentioned on this forum. In hindsight I find it weird that these aren’t talked...
