Hello,
Below is a little background on what is prompting this search for a LLMD/LLND
in SE PA, North DE, or North MD.
Thanks for the responses so far. Taking Traveler's advice & posting this request.
My 6 yr old son tested positive for Lyme & is 2 weeks into a 3 wk prescription of amoxicillin. He has bounced back wonderfully & we could see a difference within just a few days on the amox. but today he started feeling crappy, fever of 100, abdominal pains, headache. (all symptoms that he had before being diagnosed) His primary Dr. didn't even diagnose the Lyme in the first place (bloodwork came back negative) and referred us to a diagnostic clinic w/a 3 wk waiting list (I finally took him to the ER where Lyme was positive). ER Dr. prescribed the 3 wks of amoxicillin.
I'm not very confident in his primary Dr's. Lyme experience and as expected when I called with the latest symptoms they said it's probably viral. I could bring him in or they would refer me to an ID doctor. Now I'm at the point where I'd rather get the ball rolling instead of waiting for him to feel worse.
Thanks so much!
