Looking for a LLMD in Utah

Hello,

I am looking for a LLMD in Utah. My story began a little over 4 weeks ago. My husband and I were sitting on the couch and suddenly my left hand and foot began to tingle. My health has always been good and very rarely do I go to the Dr. I knew something was wrong. By morning I was extremely light-headed and decided to go the Dr. He diagnosed me with a silent migraine.

The next few days okay but I still had the symptoms. By the end of the week my limbs were so heavy and weak, stiff neck and joint pain. The next morning I went to the ER as that is what the first DR had advised if my symptoms got worse. The ER Dr. did mention Lymes and asked if I had been to the North East recently. I knew nothing about Lymes so of course my husband and I told him that was not a possibility. They did 3 diff. CAT scans and sent me home telling me I had a virus.

Fortunately I have a bro-in-law who is an acupuncturist and I went to see him the following week. He told me the symptoms all sounded like Lymes. He put me on Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Folic Acid, Colloidal Silver and Liver Detox Herbs. I believe these really helped my symptoms-of course not cured but def. helped.

Lymes....what the heck is Lymes? I know I haven't been bit by a tick. So my research begins and I soon begin to fit the mold. I visit one more DR and ask him to test me for Lymes. He refused and point blank told me I do not have Lymes and to go get a second opinion. This is where I am really on to something. The stories I've read from online-the symptoms, it all is making more sense.

I figure I will give one more Dr a try. He again tells me Lymes is not found in Utah but he didn't have a problem testing me for it. I am prepared that the test will be negative-as that seems to be the case with most people. I get the test results back and find that my ELSA is positive and I have one band on the Western Blot. But of course they consider this negative. He agrees to put me on Doxy and I am so thankful. But again he tells me it's easy to cure and is putting me on it for just 14 days. I am doing 100 mg 2 a day and who knows if that is enough?

I just feel for all of you who have put up with this longer than a month. I honestly can't imagine putting up with the pain, having doctor after doctor tell me there is nothing wrong and dealing with the emotions for months or even years.
I never ever ever would have guessed that I would be infected. I hope that I can try and educate people about this and prevent anyone from having to suffer longer than they have to.

SO this is where I need to find someone to help me further. I think I have been herxing because I've been burning all over, increased joint pain and flu like symptoms. I am so grateful however, that I have been able to get to the bottom of this within a month and I look forward to making a full recovery.

Bless you all and any help is much appreciated!
