Hi -- maybe this is the wrong place to post this, but...

Just heard of a friend who has Lyme and I wanted to put him in touch with people in the know on this forum who are also dealing with Lyme issues.

There are so many bright and kind people here, I thought I would give it a whirl.

Oh yes, the friend with Lyme is in Fresno, California.

Nanie @ ProHealth for Lyme

Nanie @ ProHealth is one of the best persons I could recommend your friend get in touch with.

I have a positive Lyme diagnosis as well, but feel I need to address why I became vulnerable to Lyme and treat the underlying immune system dysfunction.

Regards, Wayne

Thanks Wayne. Yes it seems many of us test positive for Lyme...all very confusing sometimes. How are things in Ashland -- I love that town.
