Hi everyone. I am new to this group, but I have read many of the posts for almost 3 years now. I got sick about
4 years ago, went from extreme health to bedridden within weeks. All symptoms pointed towards Lyme, but I live in the great state of Oregon where 'Lyme doesn't exist'. A line I heard from dozens of doctors in this area who always tried to fit one or just two of my symptoms into a box of a different illness. Recently my main neuro moved a few miles away which put her in the state of Washington. On my first visit there she said she has now seen so many cases of Lyme across the border she thinks maybe that's what I have,& had me send blood off to Igenex in California. The results came back with High Igm and Igg levels for Lyme and west coast babesia. Now I am stuck with trying to find a reputable doctor that hopefully my insurance will cover. I have 5 kids and am desperate to have my health back, to where I can be the mom I used to be. I am willing to travel- any states close by. I know there aren't any docs in Oregon worth visiting. The naturopaths have little experience and try to treat based off books or online research protocols. I want someone to treat me, this terrible illness,& base it off experience and not guess work. Does anyone know of a good Lyme/babesia doc in Washington, Utah, idaho, Colorado, California? My bordering states, also ones I have heard have good docs, but I can't locate them any way I try. Thank u all for any input, and for the past support I have found reading thru your posts when I knew this was what I was dealing with in my heart, but the doctors would never listen to me when I requested further testing than the basic western blot. Any info out there??? Thanks!
