Health
Lyme Disease Support Network of Middle
Tennessee
http://www.tnlyme.org
This organization provides information and support for people who have (or might
have) Lyme Disease and other tick-borne related illnesses. Lyme Disease is
becoming more and more common in Tennessee. The disease is spread by tick
bites, but it can be hard to diagnose and treat. Early symptoms can
include rashes, fever, malaise, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches, and
others. Later symptoms
(which can occur a month or more after the tick bite) can include fatigue,
muscle pain, joint pain with or without arthritis, numbness, tingling, burning,
itching, tremor, muscle twitching, Bell's palsy, vision problems (e.g., double
vision), sensitivity to light or motion or sound, balance problems, short-term
memory loss, sleep disturbance, nausea or vomiting, and others. The support
group holds monthly meetings. Please click on the link above for
additional information, including dates, times and location of meetings.
