Michigan Lyme Disease Association The Michigan Lyme Disease Association, Inc. (MLDA) is a statewide non-profit 501c3 organization founded in 1989. The organization not only develops programs to promote awareness and prevention of this disease; but also educates the public and health care professionals about Lyme Disease and other Tick-Borne illnesses.
The MLDA maintains statewide support groups that allow members to obtain practical information and guidance. TickTalk, the organization's bi-monthly newsletter, also gives timely information about Lyme Disease and the MLDA's activities. With the assistance of private donations and public fundraising, the MLDA has accomplished ambitious goals since its founding. This includes a research study tracking the distribution of Lyme Disease in dogs throughout southeastern Michigan and organizing the state's first fully accredited conference on Lyme Disease and other Tick-Borne illnesses as part of a public awareness campaign. Your involvement can help the MLDA continue to develop new strategies to encourage public awareness.- Added on: 09.20.2009 | hits: 59

About Me
- I have Lyme Disease and I am in no way an expert nor am I giving any type of professional advise on the topic. I am tired of living with Lyme Disease and it's many symptoms, but I am stuck until they find a cure or something that makes me feel better. I remember when I first got diagnosed with Lyme Disease and how I felt so hopeless and helpless, I felt stuck. Today I am no longer hopeless and helpless and my hope is that I can help at least one person get out of that feeling.
