Wasted neurobiology appointment

Well, you guys were right. I saw a neurologist who said I can't have lyme because he didn't detect neurological damage. Never mind that I am bedridden most days for part of the day due to this and that my legs want to give out. He tested me for vitamin b deficiency Nd a couple other things. How will I get to November for land appointment? I am really upset.

Have you called the LLMD office and asked to be put on their cancellation list?


Also, you could start an herbal protocol...we can help you with that.


Sorry for your bad experience. These Dr.'s must have their heads in the sand.

jiggly, I found out I had Lyme in March. I could not get an appt. for a LLMD till August. (They are few and far between in this area). So I got Buhner's latest Healing Lyme book and started on the core protocol, with a lot of advice from the forum. It is making a difference and I don't feel as though the time waiting has been wasted.

jiggly, I am so sorry for your horrid experience with the neurologist. I felt miserable after seeing the infectious disease dr. It helps to get angry and vent. Awesome that you are on Cats Claw and silver. Those both kill bacteria. Once you start the knotweed, that will be good support to. The other two factors are getting your detox rhythm going and also your nutrition. You can eat in such a way that it is not a very friendly environment for lyme. They LOVE sugar...hence, NO sugar. So sorry for the aggravation.

Sorry your neuro was unhelpful. They see lyme through the "neuro" eyes and can generally do very little for us anyway, even if he was convinced you had neuro damage. What they often do for lymees is diagnose them with MS instead and start them on some nasty meds that set them back quite a bit. So, maybe consider yourself lucky that he left you alone. ;)

I like the idea of getting Buhner's latest book, reading everything he's researched about lyme (will really help your treatment process--even if you treat w/ abx) and through this knowledge you might be able to get a head start w/ some herbal protocols. Many of us are doing a hybrid treatment as it is.
