Does it cost anything?

No. Lyme Together is free. There's nothing for sale here — community guidelines prohibit selling and self-promotion.

Can I just read without joining?

Yes. All public forums are readable without an account. You only need an account (free, pseudonymous) to post, reply, or react.

Yes — human moderators, clear community guidelines, a report button on every post, and automatic protections against spam. Crisis resources are surfaced where relevant.

People living with Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses at any stage — and the partners, parents, and friends who support them. Caregivers have a dedicated space.

A Free Online Lyme Disease Support Group That's Always Open

Most Lyme support options are scheduled video calls or Facebook groups. Those help many people — but if you're flaring at 3 a.m., can't face a camera, or don't want your health history attached to your real name, you need something different.

Lyme Together is a forum-based support community: anonymous, free, and open around the clock. Show up when your body lets you. Leave and come back whenever. Nothing expires.

How this community is different

We built Lyme Together specifically around the realities of chronic illness:

No meeting times. Forums work on your schedule, not a calendar invite. Reply today or next week — the thread will still be there.
Pseudonyms by default. Pick any username. Your real name and email are never displayed.
No Facebook required. Your support system shouldn't depend on a social network profile.
Readable when foggy. Comfortable typography, calm design, content warnings on heavy topics so you choose what you open.
Actively moderated. Community guidelines, a report system, and human moderators keep this a kind place. No selling, no medical claims, no diagnosing strangers.

What you'll find inside

The community is organized into spaces for every stage of the journey: Newly Diagnosed, Treatment Experiences, Symptoms & Flares, Mental Health & Coping, Diet & Lifestyle, and Caregivers & Family.

You can read everything without an account. When you're ready to post, registration takes about a minute — and every new member gets a welcome thread with our community guidelines.

Other support options, honestly

We're fans of every form of legitimate Lyme support. Organizations like LymeDisease.org, Project Lyme, and Generation Lyme run directories, mentor programs, and scheduled virtual meetups — many of our members use those too. A forum isn't a replacement for live connection or professional mental health care; it's the always-available layer in between.

You don't have to do this alone

Free, anonymous, moderated, and open whenever you are.
