Looking for LLMD in GEORGIA. (GA) Please help?

If anyone could help me locate a Lyme Literate Doctor in Georgia, it would mean more to me that I could ever express. In advance, I want to express my thanks to anyone who may be able to help me find a doctor in Georgia who's familiar with treating Lyme. (I live about 90 miles south of Savannah, GA.)

Here is a very brief summary of my history:

B Burgdorferi IgG Western Blot: Band(s) Present: 66, 58, 41 kDa.
B Burgdorferi IgM Western Blot: Band(s) Present: none.
Work-Up Collected on 3/14/16 at 4:27 PM
Performed by ARUP Laboratories, Salt Lake City, UT

**Note: I do not have a spleen. I had an emergency splenectomy in 1997 due to a sports accident.**

I requested my medical records today (4/18/16) because I wanted to see these test results with my own eyes. Prior to any treatment (roughly a year after this tick bite) the two tests (above) show the results of my blood work from 3/17/16.

I do not know what to do next. I'm currently beginning my 20th day of of IV Rocephin, yet now my doctor (an infectious disease specialist) says that I do not "necessarily" have "Lyme" nor have I "necessarily" ever had "Lyme." My IV treatment ends next week (week 4) and he says that I am now well, yet I feel even worse than I did prior to the IV Rocephin.

Additional Info, Brief Summary of Symptoms: 6+ months, all severe: Tingling/Numbness, Swelling in joints. Severe "brain fog." Insomnia, Severe Joint & Muscle Pain. Pulled 2 ticks off of me within the past 2 yrs.

My neuro/phys/ment health is rapidly declining. I'm 37 years old and merely functioning is becoming more and more difficult.

PeteZa, you don't realize how much you just helped me. I've been on a fast & steady decline, especially over the past 3 to 4 weeks. These most recent 3 to 4 weeks have scared me. I admit it. They have been my worst, yet.

For basically a year now, I've tried my best to "grin n' bear" the physical symptoms. I think I've hidden my level of phys pain pretty well. Considering...the endless bouts with insomnia, constant burning sensations, the migraine-like bone & joint aches, the mummy-like stiffness...the vertigo...the head pressure...eye pain...blind spots...I think I've done a decent job of hiding this from the outside world...but that might have something to do with that fact that I've also hidden myself, literally...from the outside world...it has been so difficult to leave my house, unless it has been absolutely necessary,...and to think, merely a year ago, nothing in this world could keep me sitting still.

...but, as I was saying earlier... the past several weeks have been my worst, by far...so far. Aside from the phys. issues, ...my ment. & cog. functions have become so "impaired?"...i can't even explain...my memory is terrible...my ability to recall words...awful...recently (at times) i become unable to carry on simple conversations because of this.

I once had so many interests...so many passions.

Now, I look in the mirror and I do not even recognize the guy staring back at me.

I know the phys pain plays a role in this "new" low. But, I've learned to become a pretty good "actor" over the past year - - so much so - - that I've even been able to fool myself into "thinking everything is ok," even during the times when walking from one room to another literally takes nearly an hour. That's why I'm having trouble figuring out why I've seemed to have lost so much of myself over the past few weeks.

The level of difficulty I've experienced during the most recent 3 (or so) weeks has been the worst yet... but the links that you just shared with me, the info that you just offered me, & the words of encouragement that you just gave me... just made me feel more like "myself," than I have in quite a while.

Please forgive me if my sentence structure reads "odd," or if there are sentences with missing words...this cog./ment. function flare-up "phase?" makes it difficult for me to express my thoughts...this entire post of mine probably reads very "choppy"...but I wanted to attempt to express how thankful I am.

Thank you for helping me not lose my hope.

I am now researching...and looking for... an LLMD in Georgia via those links you posted. Thank you again.

Georgia Hunter, Thank you! Savannah would be perfect...only about 90 miles away from me. I'll try to research and hopefully I'll find the this Savannah-based LLMD. I'm saying my prayers & keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you so much for letting me know.

kmt337 you are so very welcome and I hope you find the LLMD.

You described the brain fog exactly like I had it. It was extremely frustrating to know what you wanted to say but be unable to recall it.

And your post was not choppy! LOL Even if it was that is totally acceptable here. No one here is going to criticize on spelling or structure.

This lyme journey will be just that, a journey. It took me awhile to come to terms with I was sick. I have never been a sick person and being sick longer than a cold was so foreign to me and very difficult to accept. The first thing I learned was patience. Mostly with myself.

Hang in there and hope you find that one in Savannah!! If not, keep on truckin

Traveler, thank you so much! I appreciate your help more than anyone could ever imagine. Everyone here has been so kind. It's so reassuring to know that there are people who "understand."
