Lyme
disease is a bacterial infection principally transmitted through
the bite of ticks. Ticks also can transmit a number of other
serious diseases, such as Babesia, Bartonella, Anaplasma, and
Ehrlichia. These infections can attack any of the body's systems,
and can manifest in many different forms in different victims,
including severely effecting the musculoskeletal system, creating
severe pains in the joints, disrupting sleep, disturbing the
digestive system, and many more. Frequently misdiagnosed and
widely misunderstood, Lyme disease, in particular, has reached
epidemic levels in the eastern part of New York State, including
sections of the Capital Region.
The Open Forum format encourages participants to raise questions,
exchange ideas and experiences, make connections, and
locate resources, drawing from the extensive experience of the
other support group members.

Anyone
with questions about Lyme disease is welcome to attend.
The
meeting is free and open to the public.
