LYME

There is so much information available about Lyme disease. Some truthful, some confusing, some not related to your symptoms. We have tried to make it easier for you by providing answers to relevant, Frequently Asked Questions we receive, in order to provide you with a simpler way to navigate your personal journey towards hope and healing.

Everyone’s journey with Lyme disease is different and that is why it is so important to see an ILADS educated Lyme expert. These are medical professionals who have been specifically trained by ILADS about Lyme & associated diseases.

 While we are currently unable to provide direct treatment for individual treatment, we have partnered with two incredible granting organizations: LYMELIGHT FOUNDATION (serving US residents under the age of 25) & LYME TREATMENT FOUNDATION (serving US & Canadian residents of any age.)  We hope to be able to collaborate with additional international grant-makers in the near future.

 

RESEARCH

Lyme disease is a global pandemic, but not a global priority. There is neither a reliable diagnostic test for Lyme disease, nor an effective treatment for long-term Lyme. The Avril Lavigne Foundation has partnered with Global Lyme Alliance, and Avril has joined their Board of Directors, as they are dedicated to accelerating the development of more effective methods of diagnosis and treatment of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

HOPE

It often may take multiple calls, e-mails, doctors visits and different treatments to find what you feel may be the best path for you. We hope that you will not get discouraged along the way, even though it may be quite frustrating and exhausting. There is always HOPE and you are never alone.

Real men fight lyme.
