What We Do

At Gen Lyme, you’ll find a community that understands what you’re going through. Come to a Meet-Up!
We offer a Lyme disease support group and a community where you can make real friends.

meet-ups

One of the best avenues of support for Lyme patients is a personal connection with other patients. We hold Zoom Meet-Ups at least 5x/week. You're welcome to join as often or infrequently as you like. If you don't feel up to talking, you can always come to listen and be around people who understand.
