Hi.  Does anyone know of a LLMD near Albany, ny??  I am willing to travel if there isn't a good Doctor in my area.  I just got diagnosed but i believe I have had it for years now.  Thanks

Hi kris,

Welcome to the forum. I am sure someone will be a long in a while who knows of an LLMD in your area. In the meantime:

For information on finding a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, please email our long time member, Dan's Mother at:
[email protected]
If you'd like more doctor suggestions, you can email stephanie at: [email protected] You can also go to: www.turnthecorner.org/bod.htm if you want to learn a little bit more about Lyme Disease.

You can also 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 will want to find an ILADS(International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society) doctor. The ILADS site is a great place to read to get you started on your Lyme journey.

Lyme Disease Association Doctor Referral Service: Visit www.lymediseaseassociation.org and click on “Doctor Referral.” You will be asked for your contact information and a doctor referral will be provided.

International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). Contacting ILADS is also a method for getting a physician referral. Use their website: www.ilads.org or call them at 301-263-1080. ILADS is the "gatekeeper" for most Lyme-literate physicians in the USA.

Lymenet.org “Seeking a Physician” Forum: You can get a custom referral to an LLMD from www.lymenet.org. When you reach the homepage, click on “Flash Discussion,” and then click on “Seeking a Doctor.” You will be asked to provide your city, state, and contact information, and a Lymenet.org forum member will contact you with a physician referral.

Hi Kris,
Welcome to our little spot! I am so sorry to hear that you have a need to be here, although we are sure glad you found us!

If you haven't already, it would be beneficial 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 relevant information, symptom lists and informative links that have been put together by our members here! Most of those who have read through it have said that it was very helpful!! We also have a pretty good search function on this forum to help you narrow down your search for information from past posts. We must be our own health advocates now and the best thing to arm yourself with is knowledge!

I just posted the contact info of a LLMD near you on another post here. Here is the link to that post so that you too can have the info!
www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=2259401&p=1

I also suggest that you be the one to conduct an interview with them - not all drs are created equal.

I do hope that we can get to know you a little better through your posts! smilewinkgrin
