Welcome to the
TxLDA Lyme Disease Support Forum!

We realize there is an enormous amount of useful information available on the internet about health conditions of all kinds, including Lyme disease. This information, however, may or may not always be accurate – which proves to be quite overwhelming for patients suffering from a chronic illness, especially an illness that effects cognitive functioning.
We have created this message forum in hopes that we can come together – bringing whatever knowledge we’ve uncovered; share our experiences; and empower each other to make better health decisions through open, respectful communication.
This forum has been created to learn, ask, inquire, wonder & share anything related to the topic of Lyme disease and other tick borne illnesses. We want you to share your thoughts, stories, emotions, experiences and opinions; and we ask that you make the effort to do so in a manner that is honest, caring, and mutually respectful.
In an effort to organize information for ease of future retrieval, we have established several major topic categories. We hope this effort is helpful to you and does not prevent you from posting out of a confusion of WHERE to post. If we have neglected to include a necessary topic category or if you have suggestions on how to better organize this message board, please email donnareagan@sbcglobal.net. We welcome your ideas.
Registration to this forum is free – however we do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below.
Although the administrators and moderators of TxLDA Lyme Disease Support Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable message off this forum, it will be impossible for us to review all messages.
All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of TxLDA Lyme Disease Support Forum, the Texas Lyme Disease Association, nor WowBB (developers of this Bulletin Board) will be held responsible for the content of any message.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this message forum to post any messages which are knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, harassing, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
You also agree not to post the first or last name of any Lyme disease practitioner on this site. Instead, please limit your references to these professionals by using the first letter of their last name only. You may post the city in which the health care practitioner conducts business; however, please do NOT post any contact information.
If you would like to provide personal referrals to various health care practitioners, please do so through the private messaging feature or through one-on-one emails.
The purpose of this practice is to protect our Lyme practitioners and the Lyme community at large, as well as individual forum members and patients.
Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate on this message forum.
