My mother has been diagnosed with everything from mold to Alzheimer’s disease. Somewhere in the middle of the 7 different doctors we have seen she tested positive for Lyme and Lyme co-infections. All doctors have downplayed Lyme as the reason for her major cognitive setback (53 years old, dementia). Her most recent MRI result according to local hospital showed she has microvascular ischemia. I think it looks like neuro lyme. Does anyone have a good recommendation for 2nd opinion. Thank you and God Bless. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o1rih43n4uvkcyg/Attach21164_20180613_123631.jpg?dl=0

Hi and welcome to our forum,

Your mom is fortunate to have you looking out for her health.

Lyme and the co-infections can cause those symptoms and especially since she has tested positive.

You can search for a Lyme literate MD at :ilads.org/ilads_media/physician-referral/

and /www.lymedisease.org/find-lyme-literate-doctors/

you can also email me or Girlie and we can check our list for your area.

To receive recommendations/responses from other members you will need to enable your email in your profile.

Since your mom is 53 and has dementia from Lyme and co I would consider going to Dr J in Washington DC. Other members here go to his clinic and can offer info.

There is also a very good llmd in New York City Dr E.F.

I would also encourage you to read our"New to Lyme" start here thread at the top of the page.

Please take care and I wish your mom the best of healing.

Hi Josh, Welcome!

i'm sorry your mom is dealing with dementia at such an early age.

She is fortunate to have you supporting her.

I don't know where you live, but I suggest you find her a very experienced LLMD.

The Lyme Clinic that goshawk recommended is where I am going. I can provide you the information for you.

Send me an email if you're interested.

In the meantime, it would be helpful for your mom to engage in detoxing. This will help flush out the toxins that are in her body/brain...which can contribute to her symptoms.

But, just start her with one or two methods of detox...and every few days have her add in another one.

Some suggestions:

- Drink lots of water daily
- take warm epsom salt baths (start with a short bath of only 5 minutes...and increase to 10 minutes over time)
- dry brush her skin prior to bathing or showering.
- have her take probiotics - daily - for her gut health
- Have her take a liver support supplement eg. Milk thistle extract
- Take Jernigan's Neuro-AntitoxII - CNS/PNS OR Nutramedix Pinella

Here's a good website listing detox methods:

i co-sign Pinella. It's relatively fast acting as well.

Thanks everyone. I believe I fixed my email. She was just recently on burbur-pinella. She was also put on charcoal/clay etc. Family and doctors get frustrated, so they remove and move on to another treatment. She was recently put on minocycline, mainly because I begged the doctor for antibiotics, even though they think its unnecessary. If I could just get a doctor to say the MRI could be Lyme, then I could really get the ball moving, because as of right now we have 5+ doctors disagreeing with me on everything Lyme. Thanks again

Similar to this? This is an image of her MRI. She tested positive for Lyme with Western Blot and Igenex.
