Lyme Disease Association

May 2, 2007 Chronic Illness Group presentation
Patricia Compton, representing the LDA, gave a talk to the Chronic Illness Coalition (CIC) in Southfield, Michigan. The CIC is a group of people who represent both for profit and not-for-profit organizations that support people with chronic illness in Michigan. She presented an overview of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases as part of the group's bi-monthly meeting. A question and answer followed. They commented that little was known about Lyme disease and it was difficult to find physicians to treat the illness appropriately.
