Living with Lyme disease can be extremely isolating. Generation Lyme exists to change that.

No one should have to face a life-changing illness without people who can support them through it.

“The support I received from this group helped save my life. Having someone tell you that you’re not alone and that your feelings and symptoms are valid is everything.

Come to a Meet-Up.”
