LymeAid UK

LymeAid UK is a charity which provides private overseas Lyme disease tests to those who need but can't afford them & are negative on flawed NHS tests.

Due to lack of support LymeAid UK has now closed.
We. Would like to thank all who have supported us over the past few years.

Just submitted a big, stage 1 grant to the NIHR on Long Lyme/Chronic Lyme. Lets see how if goes down! Nice project, assessing long term antibiotic treatments, exploring new and emerging diagnostics, the microbiome and a nice MRI component.#lyme #pwME @PandasPans

@benefactgroup If we were lucky enough to win we could fund Lyme testing for 3-4 people who cannot afford to pay for it themselves 💚

The theme of this mental health awareness week is loneliness.
Something which all Lyme patients, and indeed their carers can relate to.
We often feel forgotten about - by the NHS, by our friends, by our family. Remember #yourenotalone.

[LymeAid UK @LymeAidUK]

Patient support groups are a great resource for sharing your experiences and in a low moment remember the Samaritans are always available to talk.

May is Lyme disease awareness month and 9-15 May is mental health awareness week so we want to take this opportunity to talk about mental health problems in Lyme disease. For a long time mental health has been taboo to talk about but it's an issue that affects so many of us.

[LymeAid UK @LymeAidUK]

A positive test result can give patients that hope back and the chance to seek treatment and that is why LymeAid UK are proud to support better testing.

[LymeAid UK @LymeAidUK]

For Lyme patients the difficulty in getting diagnosed and treated understandably lead to feelings of hopelessness. Anecdotally, suicide is the number one cause of death in chronic Lyme patients, who feel there is no hope of getting a normal life back.
