best way to get lyme diagnosis ideas please!

hi everyone. well i had a gp said I didn't have lyme. I had a local lyme md said I did. Igenex test inconclusive but he said it looked like I had it. these two docs know each other and lyme md refused to treat me based on what gp said that I don't need antibiotics. I thinks there is some kind of a social relationship they have and a problem. The Lyme md said I was inbetween a rock and a hard place, was rude to me, and suggested I see someone else.

i have headaches, been told i have bipolar, I have a lesion on my spine, back pain, skin burning, now I have an abnormal electrocardiogram. I believe i have lyme cause I had the bull's eye rash one yr ago.

now, how do I get a more accurate igenex test or tests somewhere? I am planning on getting a spinal tap to r/o multiple sclerosis and to see if the lyme is in my CSF.

I am prepared to travel to the best lyme doctor in this country. can yall tell me where they are located and who they are? I have heard of a good one in washington state, washington d.c. , new york, kansas. anyone ?

If you had the bulls-eye,you have LD. Bottom line is, it should be a clinical diagnosis because the blood tests are highly inaccurate. You need to see a LLMD (lyme literate MD) to be properly evaluated and treated for lyme disease and co-infections. It sounds like you already have some names of good LLMDs. Make sure that they follow ILADS guidelines, ask how long they've been treating, what their success rates are, if they are willing to order IV abx. or be aggressive with oral abx. Also ask how easy it will be to reach them with questions (you will have a lot after starting treatment) and ask if you will be charged for calling to ask questions. The majority of the leading LLMDs are on the East Coast. There are 2 really good ones in the D.C. area so you probably already have their names from the sounds of it. If you can travel to get to a good LLMD, do it asap!
It's very common for PCPs and ID drs. to deny lyme disease and refuse to treat it. It's ridiculous and the majority of us have similar experiences to you as far as being mistreated by the medical community.
Also, if you see a true LLMD, don't be scared to mention the psychiatric symptoms. That will help him/her diagnose co-infections, as those typically cause anxiety and/or depression and can often present as bipolar disorder.
