 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.  The photo above is of a deer tick, one of the major carriers of Lyme Disease.
