Appointment with MD today

Like beating my head against the wall. I was there to do paperwork for short term disability. Told him I had not improved after two weeks on doxy. His response? "Then you probably don't have Lyme." Despite TWO positive tests, including Western Blot??? When I complained about my diminished cognitive functioning: "Maybe you are just really sensitive." I asked what that meant. He stammered and back pedaled. I told him I have been a highly energetic, highly functioning, positive person, until my initial diagnosis last October. He said nothing in response.

At the end of the appointment he said, "I don't have any answers for you."

He also would not do my paperwork. Sent me to see a neurologist, whose next available appointment is November.

Started the process of finding/getting an appointment w/a LLMD.

I know there are two schools of thought on this very controversial disease, but to dismiss the very real concerns of a patient? I'm floored.

Thanks Wryter. I do have a naturopath, but she can't prescribe abx so I need a LLMD to help with that aspect of the treatment. I don't think the doxy is working. Wouldn't I feel at least a little better after 2 weeks?

Have calls in to 3 LLMD's, fingers crossed. Was going to visit my sister's, who is prohibitively expensive and doesn't take insurance... but alas he is Bo longer taking new patients. Can't win today.

Meantime I can't make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without taxing my brain, let alone work. It is the neuro stuff that scares me the most. I could almost deal with daily fatigue, weakness, and exhaustion if I could just think straight. :/

Of course I'm supposed to be resting now, instead of fuming like I currently am.

I hear you on the neuro stuff. It's flat out disturbing. Try to sit quietly. Log off.for a bit and meditate. I'm really praying that an LLMD reaches out to you.
