Expanding my search to New England as I didn't get much response to my Boston inquiry. Any suggestions? I found one doing just a Google search. She is a nurse practitioner who formerly worked with dr Charles jones, but her earliest appt is in August and on questioning the receptionist stated that she thinks she prescribes 200 mg of doxycycline daily. That is my current dose, which I understand to be insufficient - that is the primary reason for me seeing another dr. Now I'm not sure what to think! Any advice?

SN in Cumberland is pretty good and will treat aggressively as needed. The receptionist is new in the job. The 200 mg doxy I took was twice a day. And was always used as part of a combo protocol. She will also recommend herbals, but not up on all of Buhners latest protocols.

Thank you both! SN was who I was considering. I actually just had a great appt with my pcp, and she is going to give me more abx!

Foodie,

You should at a minimum start taking a good quality 1 Billion culture or more Probiotic (Custom Probiotics, Theralax, or VSL#3), and a liver support like Milk Thistle. And start a low carb diet top help deter candida yeast overgrowth.

Not to scare you, but I took 200mg doxy per day for 30 days immediately after removing the tick and developing EM rash. Then went without any sx for about three years before hell broke loose.

SN will most likely add a short course of Tindamax to treat any sketes that go into a dormant cyst mode from taking doxy, and she'll also check for any co-infections.

Consider keeping the appointment

Email Mister Mike,

He can tell you. He lives in the area.

Also, we had a member called, "Maine" (?), I think?

I think Pirouette and Sayyadina might live in New England.

She might know.

Thx everyone! What are skeets? I guess I can google it. So maybe I should keep the appt after all, hmm. I am taking milk thistle and a specific probiotic that protects the gut from c diff and other infections from abx. Thx for the info!

Foodie, I did not reply earlier because I was trying to find the name of an LLMD in Newburyport. If you email me, I will pass along. I see Dr. H's wife Dr. KF in Portsmouth, LLND's.

Good Luck,
Ed
