This survey is being conducted by LymeDisease.org (formerly CALDA) to assess the impact and cost of Lyme disease. Over 4,000 patients responded to our last survey on Access to Care and Burden of Illness, making it the largest survey of Lyme patients ever conducted. The results of that study, which found that Lyme patients suffered a significant burden of illness and had difficulty obtaining the health care they needed, were published in a highly regarded peer reviewed journal, Health Policy.

This survey is part of a research study being conducted by LymeDisease.org. The purpose of this research project is to assess the impact and cost of Lyme disease in the United States. For this reason, many of the questions focus on work and how Lyme disease affects work. Future surveys will address other issues of concern so as the effect of Lyme disease on children. Only submit one survey regarding any one person. To avoid duplicates, only one response is permitted per computer.
