This is episode 31 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast.
Fred Diamond's popular book, "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know" offers those who love someone with persistent or chronic Lyme ideas and tips to support this beloved person. It also helps Lyme survivors know how to ask for support.
On today’s episode, Fred and the leaders of the tick-borne disease community builder Generation Lyme (Gen Lyme) discuss how being a part of a caring and supportive community can help Lyme survivors heal.
Gen Lyme offers numerous meetup groups that bring Lyme survivors with common demographics together to discuss treatment options, support needs, and general empathetic care. Lyme disease can be very challenging and the supportive communities they provide can be life changing.
The leaders Jennifer Hoffman, Jesse Ruben, and Brooke Stoddard also discuss their personal journeys.
