Hi 3giddyups! LOL!! Love the name!
Welcome to our forum! I'm so sorry that you too have had to go through all of the seeing doc's that won't help - many of us come from that situation!
If you haven't yet, please do read through our "New to Lyme?Start Here!" thread that sits at the top of the forum. It's packed full of great information, useful links, helpful pdf's, symptom lists and even a list of questions to ask any doctor that you choose to treat you!
Please pay special attention to the 2nd post in that thread, as the bottom half is all about
detoxing while you have these infections, which is incredibly important to your ability to heal and to deal with the symptoms -

For information on finding a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, you can start a new thread titled something like:"Looking for LLMD in the _______ area." Although you will need to enable your email option in your profile in order to receive any recommendations, as we don't allow doctor's names and contact info to be posted on the forum for several reasons. You can enable your email option in your profile, under 'edit profile'. Be sure to click the submit button to actually save your preference.
