The latest issue of Lyme Times spotlights MyLymeData’s 10th anniversary, celebrating a decade of patient-driven research that’s reshaping our understanding of Lyme disease.

With over 19,000 participants, groundbreaking studies, and real-world insights, MyLymeData is shifting the research landscape—challenging outdated assumptions, exposing gaps in clinical trials, and driving more inclusive studies.

This issue also includes news updates and first-person accounts of surviving–and often overcoming–diverse manifestations of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

Among topics we’re covering:

  • The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) has awarded a grant of over $700,000 for a groundbreaking study of neurological Lyme disease using data collected by the MyLymeData patient registry.
  • Piperacillin kills Lyme bacteria in mice, leaves gut microbiome alone
  • Bites from 3 kinds of ticks now tied to alpha-gal syndrome
  • After Lyme, how occupational therapy helped me get my life back
  • The hidden struggles of multiple chemical sensitivity
