LAM (lymphangioleiomyomatosis) mainly affects the lungs, where it causes an overgrowth of smooth muscle cells. This overgrowth can lead to various problems.

LAM Action provides support and information for LAM patients and their families and its annual meeting provides a chance to meet up with other patients and to learn about developments. LAM Action also raises much need money to help fund research into LAM.

The website contains information which may be useful for patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis or doctors caring for patients with LAM. It also has information on the LAM register, a register of patients with LAM to facilitate research and help to produce management guidelines for patients with this disease.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
