Hi Pandabee,
Welcome to our community!
I would greatly encourage you to read our "New to Lyme? Start here!" if you haven't already. It's packed full of important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, and so much more.
If the recommendation that Sarah has doesn't work out, or you would like to see what options you might have, you can also send me an email. I have contact information for some LLMD's in your area as well. Please include your state and area.
You can email Stephanie at:
[email protected] You can also go to:
www.turnthecorner.org/ if you want to learn a little bit more about
Lyme Disease.
You can also go to The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's 3 times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link:
www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=277&Itemid=74 You can also now email TBDA (Tick Borne Disease Alliance) at
[email protected]
and ask for LLMD referrals also.
You will want to find an ILADS (International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society) trained doctor, as ID Docs (Infectious Disease Doctors) believe Lyme is hard to catch and easy to treat, and don't believe in the reality of chronic Lyme. Go to the ILADS site to read the new (2014) Treatment guidelines to get you started on your Lyme journey.
