Hi Dan!-
Welcome to our community. I am so sorry to hear that you have Lyme disease.
The following information I copied from Traveler. She is a Moderator here.
" For information on finding an ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Disease Society) trained Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD) in your area, you will need to enable your email option in your profile in order to receive any recommendations, as we don't allow doctors names and contact information to be posted on the forum for several reasons. To enable your email:
1.Click "My Profile"
2. Click "Edit Profile"
3. Click"Show my email"
4. Click "Submit"
You can email the Tick-Borne Disease Alliance at
[email protected] for LLMD referrals and you can go to
tbdalliance.org to learn more about
these infections.
You can 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=74ILADS has their own referral system as well:
ilads.org/ilads_media/physician-referral/And a new resource
www.LymeDoc.orgYou will want to find a well trained doctor, not one that has self proclaimed themselves as a LLMD or an ID Doctor (Infectious Disease Doctor), as ID doctor 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:

Best Wishes!
