Hi all,

I have been battling Lyme for the better part of two years and after being on antibiotics twice (two weeks of doxy and three weeks of amox) I still do not feel any better. I was wondering if someone could refer a good LLMD in the New York City area. Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Welcome to our forum! Sorry to hear about the Lyme. I knew after one month of being on doxy that I had lyme but right off I got ill again. Then I found healingwell and learned that one month really won't do anything unless you caught it at the tick bite. I was on abx/herbs/homeopathy for 4-5 months and now I'm just doing herbs and homeopathy but feeling good!

I would suggest reading our "New to Lyme thread Start Here!" Lots of good info on there on how to get a lyme literate physician. Personal referrals I think are always best though! If you don't get an answer email me tonight and I'll see what I can find.

In the meantime I would suggest reading up a little bit on detoxing and some of the different methods people use to treat lyme also. There is lots you can do. Feel free to ask any questions too or tell us about your symptoms! Lots of good info and knowledgeable members on here!

Hi Mike!
Welcome to our community!

In order to get leads for a LLMD in that area, you will need to enable your email option on here, as we aren't allowed to post dr's names or contact info. Please go to your profile, select 'edit profile', then scroll down just a bit until you see "show my email" and select that.

Thanks to you both for your help! I just enabled my e-mail so if anyone could send me some info regarding a LLMD in the NYC area it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, has anyone here experienced adverse effects to alcohol? I have read different things on different message boards but the Infectious Disease Doc I was treated by didn't have much to say. Basically a small amount of alcohol causes me to feel pretty bad the next day, and a larger amount will make me feel absolutely awful for the next 1-3 days. Just curious if anyone else has had the same experience. Thanks again!

LOL! Yes, drinking alcohol can become an issue for many of us!! Some keep trying- mostly being unsuccessful in overcoming it, at least until near or at the end of their treatments.

Alcohol will quickly overload an already taxed liver is one of what I assume is many reasons for this.

What I don't understand is how we can wake up feeling like we partied all night long....without having touched a drop of alcohol!

You can also send me an email for contact info for LLMD's in your area. Please be sure to include your screen name and the area you are looking in though.:-)
