OUR MISSION:  Dedicated to the education and prevention of Lyme Disease and other tick/vector borne diseases and to assist in the rights of Lyme patients for better treatment to improve their quality of life. 

The YORK LYME DISEASE SUPPORT GROUP, serving York & surrounding counties, is made up of volunteers many with first hand experience of Lyme and/or other tick borne diseases (such as Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Bartonella, Anaplasmosis, etc.)

- Did you know that Lyme disease test results are only 40% accurate?

- You may test negative even though you actually have the disease.

- Lyme Disease symptoms are numerous and it is often misdiagnosed as one of the following illnesses:

          Multiple Sclerosis     Arthritis       Chronic Fatigue Syndrome               ALS                   ADHD

          Fibromyalgia              Lupus          Alzheimer's disease       Seizure and other neurological conditions.
