Lyme Disease Funding | Treatment Guidelines | Symptoms

Lyme Disease Association was founded in 1991 with the mission to increase nationwide funding and awareness about Lyme and tick-borne diseases. On this site you will find information regarding Lyme disease symptoms, Lyme disease treatments and other Lyme resources and educational materials for patients, medical professionals, researchers, educators, and policy makers.

Our Lyme doctor referral database can help put you in touch with medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease in your area. You can find out how to help our efforts to enable legislation which promotes scientific research to study Lyme disease and to find a cure, and see what grants we have awarded to researchers to move the field forward. Over the years, our work has been instrumental in helping the fight against Lyme disease, and we could not do it without your generous support.

We saw ourselves as her extended family and Pat always treated us as if we were.
