Do ya think I really need one of these? A little more frightened than I was. I was looking forward to getting some fishing in, but now I am afraid another tick will bite me and I will have to go thru this all over again. Of
course, bass fishing probably out of the question ... just typing these posts... my fingers hurt. So much for
movement being helpful.

Yes, you need to be treated. The sooner you get treatment, the better off you will be. Please don't wait.
I understand you're frightened...but we can help you. This is a supportive, knowledgeable group of people here...so keep coming back here for support!

For information on finding a​n ILADS ​(International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society)​ trained​ Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, you can send me an email by clicking on my screen name or the small blue envelope under my screen name. I may have contact information for some LLMD's in your area as well.​ ​Please include your state and area that you would like to find a LLMD in and I will see how close I can get to your location.​


You can also email the Tick-Borne Disease Alliance at​[​​url]​[email protected]​ for LLMD referrals and you can go to ​tbdalliance.org​​ to learn more about these infections.


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​​


And ILADS has their own referral system too:
ilads.org/ilads_media/physician-referral/

​ You will want to find an ILADS trained doctor, as ID Docs (Infectious Disease Doctors) believe Lyme is hard to catch and easy to treat, and don't believe in the reality of chronic Lyme. Go to the ILADS site to read the new (2014) Treatment guidelines to get you started on your healing journey:
