I need a Lyme disease doctor in the Indianapolis area. Has anybody dealt with the "New Horizons" in Zionsville, IN? After 9 years I've given up on Neurologist's and Infectious Disease doctors in the south.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi SCLyme - welcome to our community!

Is the New Horizon's a lyme treatment clinic?

You will want to find a Dr. who is Lyme Literate (LLMD) for treatment.

If you don't mind sharing - do you already have a diagnosis of Lyme disease..but have been inadequately treated?


We encourage all new members to take a look through the thread at the top of the page titled: "New to Lyme?..Start here!" It's packed full of useful information.

Hi SCLyme!

If you go into your profile here and activate your email address, (there is a pull down tab I believe where you can check the box next to 'make my email address visible', and other members here that are local to you may have names they can send you. We don't share our LLMD's names publicly on our forum. Our emails are private to only other memebers.

The LLMD's are under watchful eye by die hard Infectious Disease Society of America adherents, and have been persecuted for treating Lyme patients outside of CDC protocol. But we will gladly share any info we have to help you, privately.

I am also trying to find a Lyme Literate doctor in indiana! Please help! I have so many symptoms but my doctor is convinced that Lyme Disease is not in Indiana. I convinced him to let me have a blood test. According to the Lyme AB IGG/I'M anything under 0.91 is negative and anything over 1.09 is positive. Mine came back at 1.02 (undetermined). I really want it sent for a Western Blot to confirm either way but my doctor will only send it for confirmation I'd it's positive. I know a lot of people get negative results when they still have lyme disease anyways. Any help from anyone would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi Tasha!
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.

I​f you haven't ​yet​, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as it is packed full of important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more. And, here's another good place to find helpful detoxing routines​​:​http://www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html​​

​ ​For information on finding a​n ILADS ​(International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society)​ trained​ Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, you can send me an email by clicking on my screen name or the small blue envelope under my screen name. I may have contact information for some LLMD's in your area as well.​ ​Please include your state and area that you would like to find a LLMD in and I will see how close I can get to your location.​

Y​​ou can 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 email ​​the Tick-Borne Disease Alliance at
​[​​url]​​​[email protected]​ for LLMD referrals

​​
​​ILADS has their own referral system as well:​​
​​http://ilads.org/ilads_media/physician-referral/
​ ​
And www.LymeDoc.org

You will want to find an ILADS trained doctor, as ID Docs (Infectious Disease Doctors) as well as many others, 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 healing journey: www.ilads.org/lyme/treatment-guideline.php

Tasha I was one that got a local lyme test and was negative. I then had my lyme literate medical doctor run an Igenex test.

You can google Igenex and they will send you a kit to have blood drawn and sent back to them for testing. You ask for Western Blot IgM and IgG - the cost is $210.

You will have to have a doctor or a chiroprator sign off on the blood draw and most labs will draw the blood for you.

Just make sure you read the instructions - they will advise not to have the blood drawn at the end of the week because you don't want your blood in a delivery truck just sitting there for the whole weekend going bad.

I should not exclude the other labs that can do testing. That is really unfair of me. So here are other good labs:
