You don't have to navigate this alone.
A qualified doctor, a free support meeting, or a coach who's been through it herself. Here's where patients and physicians can start.
"Texas Lyme Alliance's mission is to advocate, educate, and legislate for congenital and pediatric Lyme families' right to health through fundraising for a treatment for all."
Our goal is to connect resources to patients and the medical community to improve the quality of life for those we serve.
The chronic illness pandemic
Lyme is known as the "great imitator" because it mimics diseases like MS, lupus, ALS, Alzheimer's, CFS, ADD, learning differences, dementia, and epilepsy. Left untreated, it can contribute to other conditions, including certain cancers.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt studied 237 women with breast cancer and found that 100% tested positive for Lyme disease, though not every Lyme patient studied had breast cancer (Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, Lyme Summit 2018). Dr. Neil Spector, Duke researcher and cardiologist, found that a high number of breast cancer patients also carried bartonella.

Online support meetings
Twelve-step programs work for a wide range of illnesses and have been adapted from the original Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon model for those whose lives have been affected by chronic illness and chronic pain, not just addiction.
Two of the offshoots built specifically for our community are Chronic Illness Anonymous and Chronic Pain Anonymous (CPA), both free and running daily. They can help you shift your mindset around illness and pain toward healing, with compassion and support from people who understand.
